We support getting students' hands in the dirt, feet in the water, and hearts in the communities, using forests and shorelines as classrooms as they engage in hands-on stewardship projects.

The Northeast Michigan Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative (NEMIGLSI) is a network of education and community partners working to promote quality place-based stewardship education opportunities in Northeast Michigan for the benefit of our youth, our community, and our environment.
