Who We Are
Friends of the Minnesota Valley Drives Change for a Healthier River and Valley
We work within the Minnesota River watershed to procure sound, science-based decisions that promote healthy and sustainable uses of its rivers, streams and other natural resources. Our programs are designed to build and engage a volunteer grassroots citizen network compatible with our goal of achieving a healthy and sustainable environment in the Minnesota River Valley.
Our Programs
A high school program that allows students to get outside and learn hands-on data collection and water monitoring skills, to aid in pollution monitoring throughout the Minnesota River Valley.
We monitor proposed increases in agricultural drainage and seek to mitigate increased flow resulting from those projects. In many cases this effort has taken the form of seeking environmental review of the projects.
A platform to create, sign, and share petitions to drive change in your community. Take action on local issues and help make a difference today.
