The Problem
In Sturgis, many families lack accessible opportunities to engage with environmental and community health issues in a meaningful, hands-on way. As a result, awareness and action around local sustainability, wildlife stewardship, and public well-being remain limited. Through our 2025 Summer Reading Program theme, 'Sturgis is Home,' we aim to address this gap by launching an 8-week challenge that encourages families to connect with and improve both community and environmental health—making Sturgis a healthier place for people, the land, and wildlife.
