Mississippi River Workshops -12 locations throughout April This series of
public workshops will provide new information about the science of river
restoration, present maps of current river conditions, and ask people to
help answer:

1) What do you think are significant natural resources in the study area?
2) What do you think are problems or opportunities for habitat restoration
and protection in the area?
3) How would you describe “success” for the natural environment in your
area?

The public’s input will be used to help the Upper Mississippi River
Conservation Committee and the National Audubon Society develop an Atlas of
Habitat Restoration and Protection Opportunities for the Upper Mississippi
River System. Contact Dan McGuiness at the National Audubon Society:
