For Clean River Partners, partnering with organizations like Sharing Our Roots offers us something invaluable:

A clearer picture of what families in the Cannon River Watershed actually need, and where we can be useful.

Land access is not a new problem. But it is one we’re committed to understanding and improving.

Red Wing, we're coming your way and are super excited about this new partnership with the Minnesota Driftless Chapter of The Prairie Enthusiast!

Join us on Sunday, September 13, at Billings Thomfohr Conservation Area (just behind the Twin Bluffs Middle School) for a volunteer event to remove and treat invasive and aggressive woody plants like buckthorn, oriental bittersweet, red cedar, black locust, and sumac. We'll also be constructing firebreaks for planned fall burns.

No previous experience is necessary. This is a great opportunity to learn and connect with other community members. Bring a set of loppers if you can. :)
