Water Moves, We Move Campaign is LIVE!

Please consider helping us reach our $4,800 goal for our Water Moves, We Move campaign by December 31, 2024 so we can open our Watershed Discovery Center in January! We're expanding our Thumb Coast Watershed Center! After 3 years in the Eddy Center, we've outgrown our community space. Starting January 1, 2025, we will have a new space that allows us to offer hands-on workshops, school programs, and trainings so more people can become stewards of the natural resources around them. We are committed to serving our region's long-term environmental needs.

New endowment fund launched at the Community Foundation

In 2024, Friends of the St. Clair River launched their new endowment fund at the Community Foundation of St. Clair County. The goal with our endowment fund is to accumulate resources that will sustain Friends for generations to come utilizing only the annual interest income to ensure our continued growth. With the help of friends like you, we can continue our mission far into the future creating sustainable support for our year-round conservation and education initiatives. Visit the Community Foundation of St. Clair County's website to support our fund.
