"Friends" Joins MS River Network

Friends for Our Riverfront is proud to be part of the MS River Network, a coalition of 30 non-profit organizations, funded by the McKnight Foundation, who share common goals and are working together to protect OUR River.

• Land Goal: To restore, protect and reconnect environmentally sensitive lands and use working lands sustainably on a continental scale.


• Water Goal: To reduce water pollution, restore the river as habitat, and improve natural processes and features that can reduce flood damage.


• People Goal: To urge people of the Mississippi River Watershed and the nation to treat the Mississippi as a national treasure to be protected, restored, enjoyed and sustainably developed, and as a resource that enriches both the economy and the quality of life.
