Great Lakes Champions

The Great Lakes have suffered greatly from human use and abuse since the advent of the commercial fur trade in the late 1600s.

Join author and award-winning conservationist John Hartig as we explore the history and stories of inspiring individuals working to make the Great Lakes watershed a cleaner, better place to live.
