TAKE ACTION ON LAND RESTORATION TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY

Great River Greening is Minnesota’s leader in nature-based climate solutions through land restoration. We know that restoring natural landscapes is key to protecting Minnesota's water sources.  

YOU can make an impact on clean and healthy water today.  

Help us raise $20,000 on Give to the Max Day,  

and turn it into $40,000 with an extra special matching opportunity thanks to Jim & Sue Edberg, West St. Paul!  

 

Your Give to the Max Day gift will directly improve the restoration of vital ecosystems, protect our water sources, and provide for a legacy of clean and fresh water for generations to come. 

This year, Great River Greening has completed numerous projects that have improved water quality and water habitats, resulting in cleaner water for drinking and thriving environments for aquatic life.

  • Our work expanding and enhancing prairie not only provides habitat for pollinators, but the prairie acts as nature’s sponge filtering water through its roots. 
  • Our work supporting farmers with regenerative farming practices in southern Minnesota continues to improve water quality in Seven Mile Creek—a designated trout stream, where trout are a positive indicator species of creek health and finally on the rebound. 
  • Healthy shorelines create healthy waters. Our Carver Creek shoreline restoration is using logs and downed trees to “armor,” or stabilize, the banks of the creek. We can then plant native vegetation that will reduce erosion and improve shoreline habitat.


Our work and expertise are in demand. To keep the momentum going strong for Minnesota, we need your help. 

 

Donate today—every dollar truly makes a difference to creating tangible improvements to water quality across the state.
