Events & Activities

FMR hosts and partners on all kinds of river-related events — advocacy opportunities, educational workshops, celebrations, ways to support our work and volunteer events.

Volunteers join us for cleanups, hauls, pulls and plantings throughout the Twin Cities metro area. No experience is required, but we often require registration on the event pages below. Contact volunteer@fmr.org for more information about events nearest you. Most events take place on Dakota homelands.
