The Red Cedar River adds beauty to Michigan State University’s East Lansing campus. But the river can also become polluted with trash and other items as it runs runs through a campus of more than 47,000 students. The university’s Fisheries and Wildlife club recently hosted a day where volunteers cleaned up the river.
This video is produced by Michigan State University students Justin Smith and Aaron Miller.
Well, I have to say this is a really nice activity, and i believed that there will be more volunteers to clean up the RCR if more students watch this video. And i really want to work on this to make a better environment.
I think this is kind of activity that we all ought to do together. To make our campus better, to make ourselves better.
I want to work on this, coming up in October. Please contact me @

A partnership between Landscape Services and the Institute of Water Research at MSU started “grow zones” along the banks to slow the filtration of storm water runoff.
