Review for Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed Flow, Columbus, OH, USA
FLOW has been a very successful grass roots organization for years and I was pleased when they asked me to be a board member to help continue the success of working cooperatively with municipalities, landowners and businesses within our watershed.

Anyone that wants a fun place to volunteer or a great place to donate their money should join us.
