Support FMR's efforts in Critical Area Reform

Having heard the exciting news that the Critical Area Reform Bill passed the Minnesota legislature and the Governor signed the bill for appropriations, we're hoping you'll help us take the next step — to work with the DNR on the rulemaking process and ensure that this new legislation translates into effective protection for all that the Mississippi River adds to your community.

To make a donation right away please click here.

Your support now will enable us to keep the momentum going — engaging more stakeholders and ensuring that there is robust citizen input during the rulemaking process. In addition to the Critical Area work, FMR is in the midst of event season, making progress with our land protection and water quality work, and reaching out to even more citizens to foster advocacy and stewardship.

Please, donate today.

Whatever your level of support, you are showing your commitment to the Mississippi River and to your community. All of us at FMR appreciate your support! Thank you!
