This Earth Month, Let’s Give Back to the Mississippi River!

Through the Mississippi River Network’s 1 Mississippi program we celebrate the gifts of the Mississippi River 365 days a year. We know that as River Citizens, you also take actions large and small every day to show how much you care about our River.

What if this year, we did something big?

Other natural treasures such as the Puget Sound, Everglades, and the Great Lakes already enjoy the benefits of having a dedicated, national program that is focused on their health and resilience.

Now, it’s the Mississippi River’s turn!

We will continue to keep you posted on ways to get involved with the Mississippi Restoration and Resilience Initiative (or MRRRI) through our newsletters, social media, and the 1 Mississippi website.

If you aren’t already, don’t forget to sign-up to become a River Citizen so you don’t miss any future updates!
