Saint Paul Environmental Roundtable

FMR staff helped lead the Saint Paul Environmental Roundtable to a successful conclusion in 2006. A year-long effort to engage citizens in developing recommendations to the Saint Paul City Council and Mayor regarding specific steps that the City could take to improve its environmental performance, the Roundtable resulted in significant new ideas in the area of Clean Water Stewardship, including improved stormwater standards, better construction site erosion control, and environmentally sound street reconstruction practices.

Efforts are now underway to carry-out the implementation of many of the recommended actions. The project won the 2006 Nonprofit Mission Award in the advocacy category from the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits.
