Root River Citizen Conversations at six local events

By News Team

Fri, Mar 8th, 2013
Posted in All Government

Join Root River watershed neighbors at six local events scheduled in March and April throughout the watershed to engage in respectful, citizen-led conversations about this place we all value. Information about the watershed and the river will be shared. We’ll ask for your insights about how to live and work in the watershed while protecting water quality now and for future generations. You’ll have time to share your experiences, hopes and visions, and we’ll explore together what we can do to protect the river and the drinking water aquifers. We hope to see people from town and country; members of 4-H, FFA, scouts, church and school groups; farmers; business owners; artists; public employees; landowners; hunters, cyclists, canoers, and fishers.



The events include a free meal or snacks and door prizes featuring local businesses and products. Interactive activities will allow everyone to participate in providing information for a Root River watershed plan. The events are funded by a grant from Meadowlark Institute, which receives funding from In Commons with is supported by the Bush Foundation). Other support for Root River watershed citizen engagement comes from Minnesota’s Clean Water Land and Legacy Amendment.



Pre-registration is preferred to facilitate planning for food but is not necessary to attend, so please come even if it is a last minute decision. To pre-register, or for more information, contact Donna Rasmussen, Fillmore SWCD, 507-765-3878, ext. 3, Donna.Rasmussen@fillmoreswcd.org, five days prior to each event, if possible.

This is a one-time series with no obligations, organized by the Root River Citizens’ Advisory Group with support from Fillmore Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD), Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, University of Minnesota Extension, and InCommons, which inspires community-powered problem-solving.
