We need your help to create a successful action plan to protect and restore the Cedar River.
The Cedar River is a high quality water worth protecting. Draining approximately 187 square miles of land, The Cedar River joins with the Tobacco River before flowing into the Tittabawassee. It supports various recreational activities including: canoeing, fishing, hiking, trapping, hunting, boating, skiing and wildlife watching.
The Little Forks Conservancy, based in Midland, Michigan, is working with the University of Michigan – Flint to prepare next steps for restoration and protection of the Cedar River. This work is a continuation of the watershed management plan created for the river in 2001.
Water Quality Issues identified in original watershed management plan include sedimentation from road-stream crossings, segments of eroding stream bank, impacts from various agricultural uses, paved surfaces, and public access.
We hope that you will use this site to share your stories and experiences along the Cedar River and stay informed about planning activities along the Cedar River.
