Water defines us in Michigan, no where more than here, in southern Michigan, where our many rivers provide fresh water to both the Lake Erie and Lake Michigan basins, forming a Great Lakes version of the continental divide.  Legacy’s promise is to conserve the lands that, in turn, protect these waters.

Legacy has established a Fresh Water Fund to support its work in the Huron, Upper Grand, and River Raisin watersheds.  This fund will allow us to take action rapidly, working with willing landowners to conserve the lands our watershed council partners have identified as important to the health of the rivers.
