Mission Statement
Friends of the Mississippi River engages citizens to
protect, restore and enhance the Mississippi River and its watershed in the
Twin Cities region.
Friends of the Mississippi River envisions a river that is recognized
and celebrated as the vital asset to our community. A river where the water is
clear and clean, where it is safe to swim, where fish and wildlife are healthy
and abundant, and where scenic bluffs and cultural treasures are protected.
This is a river where residents and visitors can escape the rush of daily life
to find solitude in a hidden backwater, mystery beside ancient mounds and the
wonder of canoeing past towering limestone bluffs. Where you can catch fish that are healthy to eat. Where you can stroll through oak
savannas and sand prairies alive with the diversity of our natural heritage.
Where historic sites speak to the timeless connection between people and the river.
Where
the river is accessible to all and where development
and commerce respect the river’s intrinsic public values. We envision a
community that actively embraces this river ethic and welcomes its role
as river steward for current and future generations.
Expert Reviews
Friends of the Mississippi River has successfully engaged the public in Mississippi River protection and stewardship activities, mobilized community advocacy around land use and policy issues, and raised the profile of water quality issues among landowners, media, and local businesses.
Impact Statement
FMR uses a multifaceted approach to protecting the health of the
Mississippi River. Because the river's health is affected by a complex
interaction of water, land and people, our strategy as an organization
is to work on three inter-related areas, each critical to the health of
the river: watershed protection, land conservation, and stewardship of
the river's ecological, cultural, scenic, historic and recreational values.
