Meandering through the southeast corner of Oakland County, the main branch of the Rouge River paints a green band through neighborhoods and business districts.   Over the past 15 years, efforts at improving the river’s water quality have paid off, inspiring your community to give it a new name – the Rouge Green Corridor.  This segment of the Rouge River, and its tributaries, runs through Birmingham, Beverly Hills, and Southfield.  Improving residents’ awareness of the Rouge Green Corridor is one way of helping everyone see the value that the Corridor and its tributaries contribute to our every-day lives.

The purpose of this project is to provide local communities with tools to identify and facilitate the promotion, protection and enhancement of “Riparian Green Corridors” as unique community assets in the Rouge River watershed and throughout watersheds in Southeast Michigan. The project is part of a larger partner-based initiative that includes the Cities of Birmingham, Beverly Hills, Southfield, the Southeast Oakland County Water Authority, Oakland County Planning & Economic Development Services, Oakland County Drain Commissioner’s Office, Friends of the Rouge, and the Oakland Land Conservancy.
