With $3.2M, NFWF, partners back flood resilience and habitat conservation in Southeast Michigan 

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation has announced five grants totaling $1.6 million to support natural flood resilience across southeast Michigan. The project will leverage nature-based infrastructure that reduces flooding, restores habitat and expands public access to natural areas. The funding will leverage more than $1.6 million in matching contributions, generating over $3.2 million in total conservation investments. Recipients include organizations in Detroit, Oakland County and Clay Township. Projects will add 1.6 million gallons of stormwater storage, plant 1,220 trees, restore 301 acres of habitat, create five public access points and improve regional resilience, water quality, and wildlife connectivity.
