improving the health of the Great Lakes ecosystem through the adoption of green practices. Our partners receive
all the benefits of mapping their practice, generating reports for managed water or ecological enhancements in
their community or watershed, and networking with others doing similar projects in your area. In addition, partners
benefit from beta testing our newly developed systems before there available to the public and can provide feedback
in the development process that will help our tools benefit your organization.
