Six percent of Minnesota is covered by water—more than any other state! This includes lakes, rivers, streams and wetlands! Great River Greening is dedicated to protecting and restoring these vital water resources. Here’s how we’re making an impact: We’ve partnered with the City of Carver to restore nearly a third of a mile of Carver Creek. By reestablishing natural bends and planting native vegetation, we’re reducing erosion and soil runoff into the Minnesota River. This restoration will improve the creek’s health and contribute to a future park—leaving a lasting legacy for generations to come.
