Why We Do What We Do
The Jordan River watershed is a place where clean water, wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation come together. Our mission is to protect and preserve this extraordinary landscape so future generations can experience the same clear rivers, quiet forests, and wild beauty that define Northern Michigan. Events like Walk the Wild 5K help fund restoration projects, trail improvements, environmental education, and community outreach that keep the watershed healthy and accessible.


Supporting the John Richter Scholarship
Proceeds from the event help support the John Richter Scholarship, awarded to college-bound graduates who demonstrate a passion for environmental stewardship and conservation. The scholarship honors John Richter’s legacy of dedication to protecting natural resources and encourages the next generation of environmental leaders to continue that work.
