Projects
Starting in summer of 2012, an initiative now known as the River Raisin Legacy Project commenced to invest more than $23 million to enhance the environmental and recreational opportunities in the River Raisin and nearby Sterling State Park.
By reclaiming the River Raisin for free passage of fish and small boats, we hope this project will play a role in the extensive effort to restore, preserve and improve the natural environments vital to this community. This project will have a cascading effect on wildlife, bringing fish to spawn, freshwater mussels, aquatic insects, waterfowl and other wetland-dependent fauna back to the area. Fishing, wildlife viewing, bird watching, canoeing and kayaking will all emerge as never before in our lifetime.
Below is a list of projects undertaken by the River Raisin Legacy.
