MNSP Newsletter


Picture
The Shoreline Partnership Newsletter has been created to help us keep this rapidly expanding community of shoreline professionals up to date on the latest happenings of the MNSP, it's members, collaborators and volunteers.

In each issue of the newsletter, announcements of notable developments within the Shoreline Partnership programs, and the shoreline professional community, in general, will be included. Much has happened during the formation of the partnership and the creation of its education programs in the past three years, and much is anticipated in the coming years from the partnership.  These announcements will be provided to keep everyone up to date.

The MNSP newsletter will be issued twice year (starting in 2016) via electronic distribution to everyone wishing to be included with updates on the MNSP events, operations, training and general news about the partnership.  Please join us in sharing the latest in your projects and success stories in our newsletter.  

If you would like to be included in the distribution of the e-newsletter, or you have ideas for articles of interest to the natural shoreline community, please make submissions to the newsletter editor, Scott Brown, Michigan Lake Stewardship Associations, a
