Little River Wetlands Project is a nonprofit land trust founded in 1990 with the goal of restoring and preserving wetlands in the watershed of the Little River, a headwater tributary of the Wabash River. Its project area encompasses 25,000 acres of land once known as the Great Marsh, in Allen and Huntington Counties, Indiana. When settlers first arrived in this area, they found a vast wetland complex teeming with wildlife. LRWP is working to restore what can be saved of this great and valuable ecosystem.

LRWP has grown from the dream of a few conservation-minded citizens to a mature organization with a 15-member board and two-person staff. With the help of its members and volunteers, LRWP now protects over 1,000 acres in the Little River valley. At its Eagle Marsh, Arrowhead Marsh and Arrowhead Prairie preserves, initial restoration is complete, native plants are growing, and wildlife is returning in abundance. Intensive stewardship to nurture the new native plants is still needed at all three preserves.
