National Great Rivers is a leader in freshwater research, education and conservation outreach programs that advance knowledge, improve land and water management practices, and guide policies related to great rivers and their floodplain systems and watersheds for the benefit of human and ecological communities.
“The vision of NGRREC was to partner our organization with a land grant university, the University of Illinois, and Lewis and Clark Community College. The strengths of our founding partners created a unique organization that is not driven by institutional agendas and is more effective at bringing science to practice. Our focus on the valuable freshwater resources of the Mississippi basin is of great importance to the nation, even internationally - a focus around the great rivers of the world.”
