What is Friends of the Rouge?

Friends of the Rouge (FOTR) is a local non-profit organization dedicated to promoting restoration and stewardship of the Rouge River through education and citizen involvement. Since 1986, we have been encouraging people to take action and get directly involved in cleaning up and restoring their streams. We're also leading efforts to both young people and adults about the causes and effects of river pollution, and promoting understanding of what can be done about it. One of our goals is to help everyone achieve a sense of "ownership" of their streams and the watershed.

Our office is currently located at:

The University of Michigan - Dearborn
4901 Evergreen Road, 220 ASC
Dearborn, MI 48128
