 Newaygo County Environmental Coalition hosts presentation on dam removal at NCHM

Join us on March 29th at the Newaygo County Heritage Museum as Paul Haan speaks to the transformative power of dam removal.  The presentation starts at 10 am.  Mr. Haan is the Executive Director of the Muskegon River Watershed Assembly.  

Home to 230 natural lakes and over 350 miles of rivers and streams, Newaygo County has  2 major dams and numerous smaller dams.  We will learn about various types of dams, the process involved in the removal of dams and the functions of freely flowing rivers as they impact the ecosystem and human lives.

This presentation is free and open to the public. Parking is available around the building and in the city parking lot. The Heritage Museum is located at 12 Quarterline Rd, in Newaygo. 

Registration is requested to help us plan for seating. To register, go to: bit.ly/riverdamremoval, or scan the QR Code. You may also contact: [email protected]; 231-519-3419.
