MNRG Promotes Sustainable Watershed Resource Stewardship

The Yellow River Initiative is a partnership for resource sustainability. Its purpose is to promote excellence in natural resource stewardship and ecosystem function at the small watershed scale in balance with the ongoing human needs of the area.

The project offers the public appropriate, understandable information on natural resources within their watershed, together with an internet-based "toolbox" of related technical and programmatic assistance information. In addition, by promoting the establishment of a local watershed coordinator to provide long term guidance and continuity, the Yellow River Initiative hopes to empower people to voluntarily use this information to help them achieve natural resource sustainability and stewardship within the Yellow River watershed.
