Volunteer 

Many of the cities within the watershed have active outreach programs. These range from assisting lakeshore associations in promoting use of phosphorus free fertilizer to providing educational materials to schools. All of the cities have some type of citizen commission that reviews and provides recommendations to their city councils. All of the cities have planning commissions that review private developments and make recommendations on land use and zoning matters.
