Great River Passage Conservancy

Great River Passage Conservancy leads advocacy and private fundraising efforts for our three key projects along Saint Paul’s 17 miles of Mississippi River.

These projects will re-orient people to our great river by building environmental stewardship, community health, and economic development as we create opportunities to experience the river in new and equitable ways.

Both the Mississippi River Learning Center and River Balcony projects have completed schematic design, and the East Side River District is gaining momentum. We can now picture how these projects will transform our relationship to the river, reveal and heal long-neglected natural and cultural spaces, and establish the river as a world-class destination close to home.

Your support writes the next chapter, turning plans into action and building welcoming spaces where we can come together to learn, play, and connect.
