 October River Walk (Oct. 16 1-3pm)

Join us to learn how to test the water quality of the Minnesota River, our spring and local wetlands!

Sunday – Oct. 16th 1 pm -3 pm
Green Crew Chapter House
6601 Auto Club Drive, Bloomington MN

The Green Crew River Watch team will meet during our October Project day. Doing the full River Walk will be one of the projects in the afternoon session of the Green Crew project day.

Minnesota River runs through our communities. Many things can affect the quality of the river. The changing water quality impacts the living things that call it and its banks home.

By regularly testing the quality of the river, we are part of a citizen-science project. We are collecting essential data used by the DNR and the MPCA to guide programs and policy. We are additionally collecting data about the wetlands surrounding our Chapter House. This will allow us to plan appropriate projects to protect the wetland habitat.
