With offices in Chicago
and Grand Haven, Michigan, and formed
in 1970, the Lake Michigan Federation is the oldest citizens’ Great
Lakes organization in North America. Its
mission is to restore fish and wildlife habitat, conserve land and water, and
eliminate pollution in the watershed of the largest lake within the United
States. We achieve this through education,
research, law, science, economics, and strategic partnerships. Join us at www.lakemichigan.org.
