Welcome Ellen Fuge

FMR is pleased to welcome our newest staff member, Ecologist & Project Manager, Ellen Fuge. Ellen comes to FMR after a 22-year career with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources as a Program Management Supervisor in the Scientific and Natural Areas program. Her knowledge and the experience gained from working in the 140 SNAs across the state of Minnesota are valuable assets in our on-going effort to protect the Mississippi River.

With the addition of Ellen, FMR increases its ability to work with public and private landowners to protect, restore and manage important natural areas along the river and its key tributaries.
