Looking for something to do this summer, check out the events happening all year through Sacred Water Shared: Future.https://sacredwatersharedfuture.org/events/month/

Sacred Water Shared Future is celebrating community, storytelling, education, and conservation as part of a year-long campaign in 2026. The campaign honors the central role the Mississippi River has played in our region while acknowledging its deep history, sacredness, and resilience. Our hope is that the campaign will inspire collaboration and shared action in 2026, and set the stage for the next 100 years of healing for both the river and the life it supports.

Garlic mustard is an invasive species that outcompetes native plants and takes over forest floors, preventing other plant regeneration. This invasive species has become an increasingly large problem in the Midwest and management is key for the health of our city’s environment.

It's the season for trash cleanups! Our new Adopt a Creek sections are being claimed and cleaned by great volunteers all across the watershed. We estimate that volunteers have filled at least 25 big bags of trash from the creek this spring alone. Along with the usual candy wrappers and plastic bottles, people have found tires, poles, and a suitcase in the creek!
