High school students, community groups and Lake Superior State University will use landscaping this summer to reduce pollution flowing into the St. Marys River.
The project recently received $250,000 from the United States Forest Service as part of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, a program that protects Great Lakes drinking water and habitat.
Stormwater carries things like trash and bacteria from the city, through the drainage systems and into the river, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Landscaping, also known as green infrastructure in this context, reduces or treats stormwater runoff on its way to a river or lake.
