Prairie Rivers Network thanks you for caring about our rivers!

This is a great time to give because Bruce Semans has offered to match all new and increased donations through the end of 2009. Please help us double your support by making a membership donation to help fund our clean water agenda for the coming year:

Inspiring River Champions

We are partnering with the Illinois Natural History Survey to engage and educate communities in Central Illinois with a rivers-themed Traveling Science Center and River Discovery courses that will reach tens of thousands of schoolchildren and community members.

Fighting Pollution

We are launching a major initiative to decrease harmful effects of our reliance on coal in Illinois; we will work with partners to fight for less water pollution and habitat destruction from mining, processing, and burning coal in power plants and from disposal of toxic coal ash.

Saving Habitat and Water Supply

Bald Eagle Soaring above Mississippi River We are laying the groundwork for river restoration along the Vermilion River and the Mississippi River as well as other high-priority areas defined by the Illinois Wildlife Action Plan. We are also reviewing Illinois water law, to determine how it can be improved to provide protection for healthy stream flows and fair resolution of conflicts in the event of water shortages.
