GLAHNF Needs You - Become a Member Today!

For the past 11 years, the Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat Network and Fund has been proud to provide financial resources to over 500 grassroots groups working on improving the Great Lakes environment. These projects:

  • Protected valuable wetlands on shorelines and roadsides;
  • Restored impacts from invasive species, such as purple loosestrife;
  • Provided permanent protection of habitat; and
  • Built community support for our Great Lakes.

Now GLAHNF needs your help.

GLAHNF is now an independent organization. This step was taken in order to ensure GLAHNF's long-term sustainability and continued ability to provide local groups with financial, technical, and networking assistance when it is needed most. Your support will build a strong foundation for GLAHNF, just like the work you do helps build a healthy foundation for the Great Lakes.

GLAHNF's mission "building effective community-based citizen action to protect and restore the water quality of the Great Lakes basin..." remains the same.

Being a member brings many benefits but perhaps the most important is knowing that your contribution enables a chain reaction of supporting citizens who take responsibility for keeping our Great Lakes healthy.
