The Upper Great Lakes team is led by the M&M Area Community Foundation and its community partners in Wisconsin and Michigan, which include engineering staff; professors from University of Wisconsin–Green Bay, Marinette Campus; City and County of Menominee elected officials; volunteers; as well as the site owner for the proposed rain garden.
The team developed its action agenda in response to increased storm events in the region and aims to raise awareness of green- and graywater infrastructure tools that can mitigate the negative impacts of storm events on the health and well-being of communities along the northern shore of Lake Michigan.
