A Rain Garden

The Cadillac Public Library Rain Garden is in the ground and growing well. This garden of native plantings will help to reduce pollution in Lake Cadillac by collecting run-off water from the library parking lot before it runs into the lake. An on-site informational sign explains the concept of this rain garden and how it works, and an informational brochure is available inside of the library building.
This project has stirred a great deal of interest in the community regarding rain gardens as a solution to run-off pollutants that enter our lakes and rivers system. For more information about how you can help protect our local waterways visit the Muskegon River Watershed website at www.mrwa.org, or visit www.raingardens.org.

Youth Perspective of Regional Youth Summer Conference

"Well, I had an amazing time at the leadership Conference, it was a ball. We did this group project that made us work together as a TEAM. It was :"Extreme YACer Challenges". We were split up into 16 different groups and then the group had to try to beat the other groups. It was a lot of fun. Stella and I met like 6 new friends and all of us had a lot of fun together. Saturday night we had a dance, and OMG you should of seen some of the move Miles and Jake were whipping out. It was funny to watch them. I think everybody had a lot of fun. I know that I had a lot of fun besides all the stairs and falling Saturday night during the dance. Ok, I was not being stupid and fell while I was dancing...I went outside with some of my new friends and it was raining and I went to go down the stairs and my flip flop slid and I fell but its all good I am fine. Other than that, it was a lot of fun. If you are going next year make sure to bring a fan because it is Really HOT. I learned a lot and I am glad I went I learned a lot about me as a YACer and YAC alone. And good job Jake and Miles in presenting that grant. I do know one thing - I wanna go back next year. It was AMAZING and it was fun meeting new people and getting to know that we are not the only YAC that is going through problems! FUN is the lowest thing that describes how great the conference was.!!!! =)"
