About this event
Under the shadow of the windmill at the geographic center of our community, the Macatawa River works its way through its marsh and flows into Lake Macatawa. The surrounding area comprises the Macatawa Watershed, which has profoundly impacted the settlement of the Holland/Zeeland area and how our community functions today.
Join the Holland Museum, along with Dan Callam and Kelly Goward from the Outdoor Discovery Center Network, for An Environmental History of the Macatawa Watershed as they share an overview of how the area was formed following the end of the Ice Age, how humans have interacted with and impacted the watershed, why our community lake hasn’t always had the best reputation, and the story of how efforts are being made to fix it.
