Just terrific - local businesses can make a difference too. In Grayling Mi, our 'home waters' the local fly shop and canoe rental (The Fly Factory) has been having an annual picnic and bbq which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for stream restoration and improvements on the Au Sable and Manistee Rivers. Folks come from literally all over the world to attend and spend their money at the event. We have attended as have other FAOL folks.

In one example, they raised the matching funds to upgrade the local sewage treatment plant!

Local people can make a serious difference!
Get involved.
