Join LGROW for the 23rd Annual Spring Forum, May 26–30, a week of events designed to connect people to the Lower Grand River Watershed through hands-on learning, outdoor exploration, and community conversation.

This year’s Spring Forum includes Free Downtown River Walking Tours and a guided Paddling Trip on the Grand River.

Curious about the River Restoration Project? During the walking tours, participants will start at Fish Ladder Park and explore the riverfront while learning about the Grand River restoration project, the river’s ecology, and the history that shaped this important stretch of downtown Grand Rapids.

The paddling trip offers a chance to experience the Grand River from the water on a scenic route from Lowell to Ada, with opportunities to spot wildlife and enjoy the river up close. All experience levels are welcome.

Whether you are a longtime watershed advocate, a local leader, a community member, or simply curious about the future of the Grand River, the Spring Forum is a great opportunity to learn, ask questions, and connect with others who care about protecting and improving water quality across West Michigan. All are welcome!
