Annual Report
Annual Report 2016-2017 What’s your favorite spot on the Mississippi River? Maybe you look forward to hearing the rush of Saint Anthony Falls? Maybe you love a quiet hike by Coldwater Spring in the early morning, as the sun’s first rays hit the tops of prairie wildflowers. Perhaps you start your daily commute by walking over a river bridge and watching the barge traffic. It is the simple moments like these that remind me why I treasure this park. For many in our community, the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area may be one of the only national parks they ever visit. It is their reference point for what National Parks are and how we should care for them. They can certainly recognize that America’s greatest river deserves a national park, given its importance to our national heritage and identity. Volunteering to remove buckthorn and contributing to the future health of our forest canopy can deepen their sense of belonging to this place. For others, visiting the Mississippi River is a lifelong dream fulfilled. By visiting the Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam Visitor Center they can learn about the Mississippi’s navigation system or the origins of General Mills and Pillsbury Flour. No matter their background or interest, the National Park Service is here to be a guide, teacher, and public servant to people on the river, and this work is richer because of our partnership with Mississippi Park Connection. Through MPC, we can increase equity of experience and access at our visitor centers and through educational, cultural and volunteer programs.

Annual Report 2017-2018 Every Time We Do Something Ourselves We Miss an Opportunity to Partner with the Community and Make a Bigger Impact for the Park
Annual Report 2017-2018 Every time we do something ourselves we miss an opportunity to partner with the community and make a bigger impact for the park. This year, we’ve entered into some terrific new partnerships that are helping us to scale up our impact for the river and for our community. A new partnership with Conservation Corps of Minnesota and Iowa is critical to the Plant for the Future Campaign. Youth Outdoors Crews from the Corps are working in the forest nearly every day to complete our goal of planting and maintaining 15,000 healthy trees by 2021. During the spring and fall, we are capitalizing on the vast experience of retired teachers through the new River Educator program, which is helping elementary school students learn about history, navigation, and the natural world. In addition, our partnership with Northern Lights.mn has inspired captivating public art through Illuminate the Lock at the St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam Visitor Center. In 2018, the Park Connection supported projects across the Mississippi River with nearly $1 million in donations. This funding is critical to who we have become and essential to what we can be. It takes a wide and diverse community of friends to accomplish big ideas. When we say “we,” we mean all of us: organizational partners, donors, volunteers, teachers, moms and dads. Through your generosity and passion for the river, Mississippi Park Connection is able to help our park and our partners achieve big goals. Thank you for sharing in our community of river stewards. Katie Nyberg John Anfinson James Eastman Executive Director Superintendent, Mississippi Board Chair National River and Recreation Area 1 "The Mississippi National River and Recreation Area turned 30 years old in 2018.
