Are you interested in the efforts to restore and protect the Rouge River watershed? Join us for a Q&A discussion with John H. Hartig and Jim Graham, editors of the recent book "Rouge River Revived: How People Are Bringing Their River Back to Life" on Monday, April 24. After pollution from the Ford complex and neighboring factories literally caused the river to catch on fire in 1969, community groups launched a Herculean effort to restore and protect the watershed. Today the Rouge stands as one of the most successful examples of urban river revival in the country.

This event will take place in Facebook Live and Zoom webinar. The recording will be shared afterwards.
