Friends of the Boyne River

Website

This website is dedicated to the communities that reside within the Boyne River watershed and to the many visitors that come here for recreation. We hope that everyone will find it to be informative and educational. It will help us to understand how the natural environment enriches the quality of life for everyone that passes this way. Each one of us plays a role in the conservation of these values.

Please visit the site often. We will be adding new material and up-dating on a regular basis.

Significant Issues

Charlevoix County now has a prescription drug disposal program
The citizens of Charlevoix County can now call the Sheriff's Office at
231-547-4461 to make an appointment to dispose of obsolete prescription drugs. Manny of the drugs are dangerous and in the wrong hands could lead to substance abuse. The drugs should not be flushed down the toilet! The Waste Water Treatment Plant is unable to remove them from the effluent so drugs that are flushed down the toilet pass right through into Lake Charlevoix. We want to thank Liaison Officer, William Schneider, and Detective, Charles Vondra for their efforts to improve both public safety and the environment.

The Waste Disposal Injection Well at Alba is opposed by both Antrim and Charlevoix Counties and by many environmental groups and individuals across Northwestern Michigan. The Friends of the Boyne River support the Friends of the Jordan River in this effort. (For more information click here)
