Protecting the Mississippi River will require active people from across the entire River region. River Citizens are committed residents who enjoy the blessings of the River and pledge to help protect it.
Use this site to record your actions, share you favorite River memories, comment on River news, post photos and connect with other River Citizens. The 1 Mississippi River Citizens program is generously sponsored by the McKnight Foundation and Aveda Corporation.

For those who are unable to fully experience the Mississippi River or are planning a trip in the near future, check out the awesome videos posted by The Nature Conservancy. Please follow the link below to catch a great glimpse of various parts of the river. A filming crew spent nearly two weeks on the river to high-light river issues and ongoing solutions, the culminations of its massive Great Rivers Projects which includes a focus on both the upper and lower stretches of the Mississippi. I found this link in the Our Mississippi Winter '10 newsletter/bulletin. Enjoy!
