About the Mississippi River Network:
The Mississippi River Network is a diverse coalition of nearly 70 nonprofit organizations and businesses working together to protect the people, land, water, and wildlife of the United States’ greatest River. Founded in 2005, the Network has grown into a powerful collaboration of people and organizations from the River’s headwaters in Minnesota to where it drains into the Gulf of Mexico. The Network implements a national public program for the River, called 1 Mississippi.
About 1 Mississippi
1 Mississippi is a national public program designed to educate, engage, and inspire residents to take action to protect the Mississippi River. By signing up as River Citizens, people show their commitment to the River and agree to take action on its behalf. Mississippi River Network members implement the program locally along the entire River. Since 2009, the program has recruited 20,000 River Citizens and inspired thousands of actions.
