Support and enjoy the National Park!

Our mission is to strengthen the enduring connection between people and the Mississippi River Fund and build community support for the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, a National Park.

The Mississippi River Fund supports stewardship and community engagement programs that support the park and its mission. These programs include water quality protection, habitat restoration, formal education, and interpretive programs that share with the public the significant role our National Park plays in American history and culture.

Now is the time to plan for summer! We are looking for groups of 10-50+ to restore habitat along the shores of the Mississippi River.  A great activity for corporate groups, scouts, and school groups to work together on a project to help our National Park.
