Friends of Pool 2 will host their annual meeting as a summit with a schedule of expert speakers from organizations that span both sides of the Minnesota and Mississippi River confluence; to discuss advocacy, awareness and education of shared topics. Guest speakers will include; Rylee Main: Lake Pepin Legacy Alliance, Linda Loomis: Lower MN River Watershed District, and Ted Suss: Friends of the Minnesota Valley. Together these groups will highlight the importance and focus of: excess water, sedimentation and nutrient run-off pollution from agriculture, floodplain and wetland protection, clean water policy and bluff land protection strategies.
The summit will be preceded by a FOP2 member and friends, letter writing party to gain media, public and political interest for the summit event and to present a voice for continued water quality policy in Minnesota. Through this advocacy, outreach and education with a focus on a concise topic, we aim to create a unified voice to enhance and protect the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers.
Like last year's meeting, we're all looking forward to enjoying the tasty sandwiches of The Fork in the Road food truck, courtesy of a generous grant from "1 Mississippi" and "Mississippi River Network."
Join us for a memorable evening on the river filled with fascinating speakers, great (free) food and a gorgeous venue. Please bring your beverage of choice.
