Rivers & Watersheds

America's freshwater resources - its rivers, lakes and bays - drive local economies, create recreational opportunities, support wildlife and provide public drinking water. Protecting these water resources is a community-wide task. Engaging conservation groups, public agencies, private landowners and businesses, The Conservation Fund develops strategic conservation approaches to revitalize local economies, protect valuable water resources, and reduce the impact of human activity.

Help Save Our Wild Havens

At the Fund we help save wild havens: large, natural spaces for wildlife to be exactly that—wild. Your gift ensures that wildlife, like this bear cub, has the habitat it needs to thrive.
