Fall brings colorful views. As trees shed their leaves, you can do your part to keep them from washing into waterways or from clogging storm drains by mowing and mulching.

Did you know Michigan used to have laws that required corporate polluters to pay for the cleanup costs of their pollution? Since those laws were repealed in 1995, those costs have fallen on the taxpayer. It’s time to hold polluters accountable: https://t.co/9t9TjKTIW9

High water and trees down in the Huron River from Placeway in Island Lake State Rec Area to Cedar Ridge in Huron Meadows Metropark. Avoid river recreation there and be careful paddling anywhere this weekend. Lots of hazards due to storms and high waters. https://t.co/6AnAOL9BYw
