Hickory Creek Water Quality Meeting

The Southwest Michigan Planning Commission (SWMPC) and the Village of Stevensville invite you to a meeting to discuss the water and habitat quality of Hickory Creek and what can be done to improve it. We would like to also discuss the formation of a partnership with the county, non-profit organizations, public agencies and the townships, cities and villages who have land or an interest in the Hickory Creek Watershed.

We all share Hickory Creek and we can all play a critical part in its improvement. We would all benefit from improved water and habitat quality. Come learn more about Hickory Creek and how we can work together. We hope you can join us and help to restore this wonderful community resource.

Municipalities with the majority of land that drains into Hickory Creek Watershed include Baroda Township and Village, Lake Township, Lincoln Township, Oronoko Township, Shoreham Village, Stevensville Village and St. Joseph Township.
