The Fremont Area Community Foundation Environmental Committee would like to introduce citizens and organizations to the opportunities for improving and maintaining the natural resources of Newaygo County. It is felt that through support of community based environmental projects, the Fremont Area Community Foundation can assist in maintaining the natural resources that many of our residents and visitors appreciate about Newaygo County.

The areas of focus adopted by the FACF Environmental Committee are:

• Water resource enhancement - surface, groundwater/wetland health
