  • 2015 Annual Report a Note from Our Board Chair
    Our River. Our Community. 2015 ANNUAL REPORT A NOTE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR DEAR FRIENDS, During a recent hike in Patagonia South America, my guide, who spoke little English, asked, “Where are you from in the USA?” “Minnesota” I replied. He shook his head indicating unfamiliarity. A few minutes later he suddenly inquired, “Mississippi River?” “Yes,” I said, “the Mississippi River begins in Minnesota.” This was a powerful reminder that our local Mississippi is one of the world’s great rivers. Back here at home, it’s exciting to see this recognition increasingly take hold. More and more, communities that once turned their back to the river now turn their gaze towards the river’s majestic beauty. Thanks to all of you — Friends of the Mississippi River members, donors volunteers and advocates — who have fueled this river renaissance. Project by project, community by community, we are building momentum for a healthier, more vibrant metro Mississippi River. In 2015: • A record 7,142 people helped restore habitat or learned about the river with FMR. • Ecological restoration progressed on 21 sites totaling a record 1,014 acres. • The upper St. Anthony Falls Lock was closed preventing invasive Asian YOU! carp from progressing upstream. ALL OF OUR Now, as new river parks and projects emerge at a quickened pace, FMR is SUCCESS IN 2015 IS also working to ensure equitable access to river amenities for all, especially in North Minneapolis. We also remain dedicated to protecting the river’s BECAUSE OF YOU. health, advocating for innovative new policies to reduce the biggest threat to the river today, agricultural pollution.

Knowing that you have already chaired two field hearings on these national treasures, 1 truly appreciate your longstanding commitment to hearing the views of Minnesotans and citizens nationwide. Mr. Chairman, we are here to discuss how it is possible to both protect and enjoy the beauty and splendor of these two national treasures. As you can see from the proposals we are debating today, we in the Minnesota delegation agree with each other on these goals, but differ as to how best to achieve them. During the two congressional field hearings in Minnesota, I found that nearly every Minnesotan also shares these goals. With that in mind, I have joined my colleague Jim Oberstar, who represents the areas containing both the BWCAW and Voyageurs National Park, in introducing modest, common-sense proposals to return to the original intents of the laws creating these two areas and to give the public a say in how their land is managed.

  • People-‐Powered Policy
    People-Powered Policy: 60 Years of preserving MN’s natural heritage Sen. Dave Durenberger My goal tonight is to express what it means to me to be a Minnesotan. Not the one who starts every day and every conversation with a weather report—or, as we age, with a five-minute health status report. Rather the person who learned early in his life, and had reinforced along its personal and professional path, what it means to build on the gift of life here: a better future for our children, our grandchildren and our neighbors. I am reminded from my perch here in my 80th year, of how Minnesota became a world leader in preserving the natural heritage that drew our Native American forbearers to this land in the first place. They remain here to remind us of their heritage. That also is the story of the Parks and Trails Council of Minnesota I was asked to help you celebrate this evening. Minnesota is not famous for its oceans, its mountains or its Golden Gate, but rather for what people like you and I would become here. Those who were our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents brought a unique culture to the prairie, Big Woods and lakes state that is Minnesota. The history of this state has evolved from the frugal Yankee entrepreneurs of New England, with their Calvinist conscience and civic virtue, who met up here with northern and eastern European immigrants. People like my great-grandfather, who on the family tree in a farmhouse just north of the Boden See in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, is listed as “Gephard Durrenberger, May 21, 1859— Gone to America.” These immigrant men and women were frugal, of necessity.
