A River Resurgence: The Return of Manoomin

Apr 13

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the annual Celebration of Progress for the St. Louis River Area of Concern! Watching this community show up year after year makes all the difference. And hearing the story of manoomin's return to the St. Louis River Estuary? That's what decades of dedication looks like in real life.

Gratitude to our AOC partners at the Minnesota & Wisconsin DNR, Fond du Lac Band, and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency — your work spans generations and it shows. And a special thank you to Deanna Erickson, Director of the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve, for sharing the hopeful and important story of wild rice recovery with us. And thank you to the St. Louis River Alliance staff for helping connect so many to this work.

The river is healing. The community is showing up. The future is bright!
