Not long ago, members of TBay REAcT – the joint environmental committee of our three Rotary clubs – asked themselves a simple question: what more can we do to protect the lake and land that sustain us?
Two answers came forward.
🌱 Seeds for Conservation: Imagine a greenhouse right here on LRCA land, filled with native plants and seeds grown locally. Plants that will thrive along our shorelines. Plants that volunteers will help put into the ground as part of the ongoing cleanup and restoration of Lake Superior’s waterfront. A $30,000 vision to give nature its best chance to heal.
🌊 Litter Free Lake Superior: Picture litter traps catching waste before it reaches our lake. Fewer microplastics in our waters. A cleaner, healthier Superior for the generations that follow. A $10,000 investment in prevention that protects our greatest treasure.
Through a District Matching Grant, every dollar we raise will be doubled — but only if we meet our share. Our three Rotary clubs have already stepped up with generosity, yet we are still $6,000–$7,000 away from making these projects real.
That’s why, on October 30, we are coming together. Not just to fundraise, but to stand for the future of our community, our water, and our planet.
This isn’t just an event. It’s a chance to write the next chapter of our shared story — one where Lake Superior remains strong, clean, and life-giving for all.
