New Web Resource for River Citizens

by Whitney Clark

Want to plug into river-related events in your area or learn more about issues facing the Mississippi River from the headwaters to the gulf? The 1 Missisippi Campaign website is a terrific new resource. Can the River count on you?

Protecting the Mississippi River will require active and engaged people from across the entire River region. River Citizens are committed residents who enjoy the blessings of the River and pledge to help protect it.

Whether in armchairs or wading boots, River Citizens take small actions that can make a big difference for the health of the entire Mississippi. The website is designed to help River Citizens get involved, share stores and enjoy the River together. Visit often to record your actions, share you favorite River memories, comment on River news, post photos and connect with other River Citizens. The 1 Mississippi River Citizens program is generously sponsored by the McKnight Foundation and Aveda Corporation.
