Weed harvesting is under way in the Huron River, thanks to GoFundMe support from the community.

Thank you to all who donated to support this effort!

A GoFundMe fundraising effort is underway for a resident-funded weed harvesting. The purpose of this 2025 Resident-Funded weed harvesting on the Huron River is to serve as a pilot program to determine the potential benefits for early seasonal harvesting for minimizing flooding. The intent is to harvest the flat area of the Huron River channel from the river bend at Hidden Lake to the Hamburg Road bridge (which includes in front of the Little Ore outlet). The goal is to harvest in June to maximize water flow and hopefully minimize the number of days that Ore Lake and Little Ore experience flooding this summer.
The resident-funded weed harvesting and removal will cost $10,000 total. To reach our goal, a suggested donation from each house is $50 per house. A donation of any amount will help to make this effort a success.
Hamburg Township is planning to harvest downstream of the Hamburg Road bridge in July, depending on the river level.

We hosted a community discussion about the potential Ore Lake Special Assessment District (SAD) on Thursday, April 3rd. Thank you to all who were able to attend.
