Focus on the Watershed

Focus on the Watershed is a joint project of the UpNorth Media Center, Grand Traverse Conservation District, Inland Seas Education Association and the Watershed Center Grand Traverse Bay.

Focus on the Watershed an Unmitigated Success!

Over 25 volunteers completed 16 short videos about watershed related topics which were presented to 245 audience members at Traverse City's State Theater on June 21, 2010.

Thanks to the volunteers for all their hard work!  A list of their names and titles are shown below.  Watch this page for links to watch the videos online, coming in early July, 2010.

Also, watch the UpNorth TV schedule to watch the Focus on the Watershed videos on Charter Cable in Northwest Michigan.
