A renewed Illinois landscape with healthy rivers and healthy wildlife populations is a moral imperative in the face of a changing climate.
The rivers and streams of Illinois are ribbons of life, home to an amazing array of species: majestic bald eagles soaring over the Mississippi, river otters frolicking in the Illinois, and fish spawning. And, of course, our own children fishing, splashing, and smiling. These are the true treasures found in our rivers.
Since our founding in 1967, Prairie Rivers Network has worked to protect the state’s most important natural areas. These are the places you visited as a child and the places your children and your grandchildren will visit today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
