Help Us Heal the River Raisin: Restore Native Plants, Revitalize Our Water

The River Raisin is the lifeblood of our community, but it's facing a continued challenge. Water quality issues. These issues threaten the health of our river and the ecosystems it supports. Here at the River Raisin Watershed Council, we're on a mission to bring our watershed back to life and we need your help.

Our solution: Planting native trees and plants along throughout the watershed. These natural filters absorb pollutants, prevent erosion, and create healthy habitats for fish and wildlife.

Your contribution will:

Purchase native trees and plants: We'll strategically plant them to maximize their impact on water quality.
Fuel volunteer planting events: Together, we can transform the watershed into a flourishing ecosystem.
Support farmers with micro-grants: Encourage farmers to plant "pocket forests" on their land, further improving water quality downstream.
Fund educational programs: Teach future generations about the importance of a healthy river and empower them to be stewards of our environment.

A healthier river benefits everyone:

Cleaner drinking water: Native plants act as nature's water filters, removing harmful pollutants before they reach our taps.
Thriving wildlife: A healthy river ecosystem provides a haven for fish, birds, and other animals.
Booming recreation: A clean river is a beautiful river, perfect for swimming, fishing, and kayaking.
An educated public: By supporting environmental education in our schools, we cultivate a society that understands the importance of protecting our natural resources.

Together, let's restore the River Raisin to its full potential. Donate today and be a part of the solution!
