Need To Know: Clinton River Watershed Annual Fundraiser

MICHIGAN — The Clinton River Watershed Council (CRWC) will host its annual fundraiser, Walk on the Wild Side, on Saturday, July 20 at the Detroit Zoo. Proceeds from the event will support CRWC’s many programs and services to protect, enhance and celebrate the Clinton River.

The event runs 7 a.m. to noon.

The Walk on the Wild Side event is one of two of CRWC’s major fundraisers and is a great chance for families to enjoy a day at the zoo while contributing to a great cause. The event includes a strolling breakfast, CRWC giveaways, and some watershed activities for kids put on by the zoo.

Tickets are $10 per person, including parking, an average savings of $25 on zoo admission for a family of four. Attendees can begin checking- in and enjoy breakfast at 7 a.m. and will be able to enter the zoo at 8 a.m., an hour earlier than general public admission.

Admission tickets for the event will be honored until 10:30 a.m., but once inside the zoo, guests are welcome to enjoy the zoo all day.

The Clinton River watershed covers 760 square miles through four counties (Macomb, Oakland, Lapeer, and St. Clair).

Over 1.5 million people live in the 63 communities through which the Clinton River flows before reaching Lake St. Clair. CRWC is a non-profit organization that protects, enhances, and celebrates the Clinton River, its watershed, and Lake St. Clair.
