Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Friends of the Rouge strives to increase diversity, equity, inclusion and justice in all elements of our work to serve the Rouge River Watershed and its communities. We strive to carry out our work with inclusivity by recognizing and understanding the social, economic, historic and political context that shaped the Rouge River Watershed landscape and communities. In order to meet our mission to restore, protect and enhance the Rouge River watershed through education, stewardship and collaboration – we must approach our work with understanding of the opportunities and challenges of our partners and those we serve.
