The Watershed Center conducts several beach cleanups every summer on Grand Traverse Bay.  We clean up East Bay, we clean up West Bay, we clean up beach litter, and we even clean up the bottom of the Bay! 

We partner with The Traverse Area Association of Realtors to hold our largest beach cleanup of the summer.  Many thanks to the environmental committee members of TAAR for their remarkable community stewardship!  They know firsthand that Grand Traverse Bay's water quality directly affects property values. 

Ever notice how so many artists reside in our Grand Traverse Bay region?  That’s because it’s so remarkably gorgeous!  From aquamarine waters to paper-like birch bark to the call of the loon, we are blessed with beauty.
