Have you ever thought about that urban stream that's flowing right near your home right now? As water runs off the street and into the creek, what happens next? Who's looking after the creek? And who's protecting those fish species that are inhabiting those areas? Today you're gonna get an inside view of a watershed council that is protecting their basin on a large scale. And we're gonna talk about how this all ties into the smallmouth bass trip and giveaway we're doing right now. So you know a little bit more about how to protect your own streams and how to get involved in this big trip.

Belinda Friis and Rick Lawson from the Huron River Watershed Council are here to shed light on the work they're doing to protect one of the biggest and most important rivers in the Michigan area of the Great Lakes. You're gonna find out today what forever chemicals are and what they are doing to help protect these chemicals from getting into our streams. You're gonna find out what the Stonefly search is all about and how this is helping to prepare some of the work they're doing out in their area.

And you're also gonna get a little bit of hope, actually a lot of hope into looking at the future. We've talked a lot about this on the podcast. There's definitely some ups and downs in species populations, but today we're gonna be talking about a few in this area and you're gonna get some good direction moving forward. Plus, did I mention it? We're gonna be giving away a trip to Schultz Outfitters, and if you wanna get involved in this trip, you can do it. We'll talk about that at the end. Definitely pumped to get into the Detroit area, putting Detroit on the map, the Huron River. This is gonna be awesome. So let's give back to another great organization.
