Support GRHA by Donating Today

Great Rivers Habitat Alliance relies on support from those interested in preserving Missouri’s Big River Floodplains and Wetlands. Consider supporting GRHA mission and our vision to help provide sound land uses for one of our nation’s most unappreciated natural resources!

Why Support?

Floodplain wetlands within the confluence of the Missouri, Mississippi, and Illinois rivers provide many benefits to wildlife and people near St. Louis. They provide habitat for over 250 species of migratory birds, including waterfowl and songbirds, along with habitat for turtles, beavers, frogs, deer and other local species.

These wetlands benefit people as well because they are ideal places for hunting, to view wildlife and enjoy nature, boosting the local economy through ecotourism. People also benefit because floodplain wetlands can filter out pollutants before they enter the river system and the wetlands store floodwaters, lessening damage to St. Louis and other downstream communities. This historic area is at risk and must be protected for the benefit of all!
