Restoration Tours

The Coalition is seeking creative proposals for visits to restoration sites, businesses or communities benefiting directly from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and/or water infrastructure investments. Site visits should include experts who are able to talk about the restoration process and ecological impact of the project, local business owners who can demonstrate the economic impacts of the project, and other community partners that have been impacted. Restoration site visits will address many of the critical issues and challenges facing the Great Lakes. The Coalition aims to provide site visit attendees with engaging educational opportunities to learn about the impacts of restoration investments. The site visits can showcase one project or many based on the proximity of projects. Projects of all sizes and locations within the region are encouraged. The Coalition has compensation of $5,000 -$10,000 for organizations whose applications are accepted.
