Covid – 19

At the FRWC, our first priority during this unprecedented time is to take the steps we can to practice Social Distancing for our staff, volunteers, and program participants. This means:

– All staff will be working remotely at least through the end of April, 2020. You can reach everyone at their usual phone and emails.

– All FRWC led meetings will switch to virtual sessions or conference calls. This includes board, committee, and program committees. Direct any related questions to rfedewa@flintriver.org.

– Stewardship Day on April 25 has shifted to Stewardship Month. We invite everyone to practice social distancing outside, collecting garbage along your favorite walking route, planting trees or other native species, building your own compost bin, and more. Record your activities here, and each day we’ll provide a little inspiration on our Facebook and Instagram to help you get started. Details on Stewardship Month can be found here.

For all events after April 30, we will continue to assess the situation, following the guidance provided by local, state, and federal officials. This includes monitoring training and water quality monitoring sessions, and the GREEN Student Summit.

Get Outside

In the mean time, getting outside is a GREAT way to ease the stress and anxiety associated with the Covid-19 outbreak. There is even evidence that fresh air and sunshine can help you fight off viruses. We encourage everyone to take some time each day to enjoy the amazing things our Flint River watershed has to offer.

– Get out for a walk, run or bike ride along the beautiful Flint River Trail

– As the temperatures warm up, you may want to get out on the river – Flint River Water Trail

– Check out your local parks – not sure where to start, check out Genesee County Parks and Lapeer County Parks,

Most importantly, be safe and well. #flattenthecurve

Stewardship Month

Staying Safe While Doing Good

Covid-19 has required us all to make changes to our daily routines to stop the spread of this terrible virus. In response, we’ve adjusted our organized day of community revitalization to a month of stewardship activities that you can do from the socially distant comfort of your own neighborhood. Check out our Stewardship Day page for all the details.
