Become a champion for our region's rivers, lakes and streams by making a gift to Cleveland Metroparks Rivers & Lakes Fund!
If you've fished in Wallace Lake, cast flies for steelhead in the Rocky River, swam at Huntington Beach, kayaked down the Cuyahoga River, paddled in Lake Erie, or simply enjoyed the spectacular views from Euclid Beach Pier or Edgewater Park, you know firsthand how much we rely on clean waterways for recreation.
But our waterways do more than provide us with places to recreate. Our rivers, lakes & streams provide critical habitats for fish, plants and wildlife populations, protect important adjacent lands and floodplains, and - most importantly - provide clean, healthy drinking water.
Our world is changing, and as more and more pollutants enter our waters, protecting their integrity - and the health of the wetlands and natural areas surrounding them - has become more important than ever.
By making a gift to the Rivers & Lakes Fund today, you will help:
- Restore rivers, streams and wetlands to improve water quality;
- Protect high quality natural areas for water-dependent plants, fish and wildlife;
- Reduce runoff, erosion and flooding through stormwater management practices;
- Enhance fishing and kayaking opportunities for all skill levels;
- and much, much more.
