Join us for a fun day of fishing and outreach around Cleveland's historic Rockefeller Lagoon. Now in its 18th year, Doan Brook Watershed Partnership's Family Fishing Day regularly attracts 500 to 700 people of all ages and from all over the Cleveland area. We provide free rods and reels for the first 400 children, a free lunch, and free fishing instruction by Cleveland Metroparks specialists. Volunteers make this free event a reality, and volunteer opportunities range from registration to set-up to educational outreach to face painting. Volunteer shifts available if you aren’t able to stay for the whole event. We would love to have your help!
Please contact Andrew at klooster@doanbrookpartnership.org for any additional questions!

Mission Statement
The mission of the Doan Brook Watershed Partnership is to: 1)Facilitate and support conservation and restoration projects within the watershed --with an eye towards environmental justice -- and document those efforts through a watershed information network. 2) Dynamically increase public engagement and awareness of the watershed, and serve as a collective voice for the Doan Brook and its constituencies. 3) Develop a solid organizational infrastructure in order to work toward all goals.
Description
The Doan Brook Watershed Partnership (DBWP) celebrates the beauty and function of the Doan Brook watershed.
The culturally rich history that evolved along the Doan Brook demonstrates its important influence in shaping the character of our Northeast Ohio community. Because our watershed drains to the globally unique and valuable Lake Erie and St. Lawrence Seaway watersheds, the DBWP commits to protect and restore the Brook.
The Doan Brook watershed is a foundation for our local, communal health, as well as the entire Great Lakes system. As the region works to preserve the bio-diverse, freshwater resources of Lake Erie as an underpinning of regional revitalization, the DBWP will focus on restoring ecosystem services within the Doan Brook watershed to further local sustainability goals.
The DBWP encourages watershed activities which will celebrate and quantify the Brook's critical role in culture, economics and individual well-being. It is hoped that DBWP activities will imbue people with a sense of place; connect them to our local hydrology, and inspire them towards stewardship of abundant, clean water.
