I'm looking to do some good for our local watersheds and meet like minded people. Where could I find volunteering groups that clean up the environment or remove invasive species in West Michigan?

I would start with WMEAC
+1 for the Land Conservancy! Great people and really fun volunteer activities
and another one foe the land conservancy! really well organized volunteer opportunities. try out one of their second saturday’s!
The Kent County Parks department has a lot of volunteer events, mostly removing invasives.
LGROW has a conference soon, they are really incredible
Grand rapids water protectors! Meetups and snacks with cool people that cleanup the grand river and other parks/lakes
The North Country Trail Association is headquartered in Lowell. I'm sure they would welcome new volunteers.
Grand rapids water protectors. They do cleanups and the like. They have a Facebook page
Interested in joining you all!
Do any of them have a reddit page or listserv? (not on fb at the moment)
Just saw this article today.

Plaster creek stewards, Lgrow, trout unlimited (schrems west Michigan), friends of Grand Rapids parks, friends of Indian mill creek, friends of buck creek, land conservancy of west Mi, wmeac to name a few
Seconding the Plaster Creek Stewards. I believe Dave Warners through Calvin still runs it.
