Help Lead the Grand Rapids Audubon Club
There are still opportunities to help lead GRAC forward. We still need volunteers for a few positions that are important to the club. Click here for details.
GRAC makes a real difference right here in West Michigan through environmental and nature education and advocacy. This is your chance to help. If you want to volunteer or have questions, contact Scott Hutchings at nominations@graud.org.
Kent County Parks and Trails has developed a DRAFT 2019-2023 Master Plan that is now available for review. It's a BIG document. Please take a little time to browse it and see what opportunities could lie ahead for your favorite parks and trails. The draft plan is available for public review and comment through November 26, 2018. After the comment period closes, the document will be updated accordingly and submitted to the County Board of Commissioners for review. Click on the Parks logo left for a link to the plan.
