Forest to Mi Faucet explores the positive and negative connections between land use and drinking water. Michigan's 20 million acres of forests are vital to protecting water quality in a state surrounded by the Great Lakes. Twenty conservation organizations in Michigan are reaching out to municipal water utilities in their service areas to help them implement source water protection plans through outreach, education and several forest-based solutions. Forest to Mi Faucet promotes protecting important forests, managing all forests well, and expanding riparian forests in urban and rural areas.
