Grow the Flow

Grow the Flow
Grow the Flow is a citizen-led movement that exists for just one reason: restore the lake we love and depend on. Together, our team of community members, professionals, and lawmakers are unleashing a flood of policy innovation, public engagement, and action-oriented research. The stakes are high, and no one has succeeded before. Will you help us become the first community to turn things around?
