A Friends of the Mississippi River project bringing neighbors together to work toward a common goal of protecting and restoring the Mississippi River Gorge.
1000 Friends of MN and Twin Cities Public Television have been working together to create short videos, called "Legacy Letters" highlighting some of the places and things MN residents treasure the most in our state. The videos are each a minute in length and are airing for the next year on the Minnesota channel (TPT's digital channel). According to the 100 Friends of MN website, "The videos will feature the hopes, dreams, memories, concerns, and visions of Minnesotans like you who can articulate what’s working well and what’s needed in Minnesota."
One of the places we treasure the most is the Mississippi River Gorge. Check out the following video about why this place is so special, featuring Carolyn Carr, ecologist with Ecological Strategies and key figure in the volunteer-based restoration efforts of the gorge.
