    MISSISSIPPI RIVER NEWS Fall 2018 / Winter 2019 The official newsletter of Mississippi Park Connection and the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area. MISSISSIPPI RIVER NEWS The mission of Mississippi Park Connection 111 Kellogg Blvd E, Suite 105 is to strengthen the enduring connection Saint Paul, MN 55101 between people and the Mississippi River by enriching the life of the river and the lives of all who experience our national park, the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area. Park Connection supports the park’s environmental stewardship and education programs, including outdoor recreation, education, and volunteerism. In 1988, a national park was created in Minnesota to preserve, protect, and enhance the significant values of the waters and land of the Mississippi River corridor. Known as Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, the park extends for 72 miles along the river, running through the heart of the Minneapolis/Saint Paul metro area. Printed on Minnesota-milled, chlorine-free recycled and recyclable paper with 10% postconsumer material. WELCOME Generation Next Katie Nyberg, Executive Director, Mississippi Park Connection “The river is an ideal classroom for learning about history, ecology, physics, literature and the arts.” Photo by Bethany Birnie At Mississippi Park Connection, we believe that the river should shape every kid who grows up here. An introduction to the park, whether through fishing or canoeing or hiking, builds a foundation for lifelong learning and connection. We are pleased that the natural world is increasingly being appreciated as a tool for building strong, healthy and happy children. The river is also an apt platform for building knowledge about the world around us, which is why we have built many partnerships with Twin Cities schools.
