The implementation of the Portage Lake Watershed Forever Plan continues. Fighting Portage Lake's invasive species is the hot button issue in 2009 and a township government sponsored committee is taking the lead on this. A new webpage devoted to fighting invasive species on Portage Lake is now available.
 
Our community based plan was created to ensure the wise use and enjoyment of the Portage Lake Watershed now and for future generations. We hope you will join us in our efforts.

We are building an endowment fund to implement this plan. This fund was created in fall of 2006 at the Manistee County Community Foundation (MCCF) to implement and update the Portage Lake Watershed Forever Plan.   To donate, please call 231-723-7269 or donate online . As we are now affiliated with the Community Foundation for Muskegon County, the donation link will direct you to their website. Just search for "Portage Lake Watershed" in the Specific Fund Name box.  Every dollar helps!!
