Make a difference
Whether in arm chairs or wading boots, River Citizens protect the River by speaking up on its behalf and caring for it in simple ways that make a big difference. Be sure to sign up as a River Citizen so you can get out monthly newsletter highlighting River events and River Citizens success stories! We encourage everyone to find some way to connect to the River. Canoe trips, wetland restoration, bike rides and more events can be found on our 1 Mississippi Events page.
