SUMMARY:Oh\, How The Words Flow: A River Poem Unveiling with Andrea Jenkins
DESCRIPTION:Join the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization for a special morning celebrating the debut of a newly commissioned poem by acclaimed writer and former councilmember Andrea Jenkins. \nAs part of MWMO’s ongoing commitment to integrating art into its work\, this original piece was commissioned to reflect on the stretch of river that defines the MWMO watershed. Inspired by an earlier work by Jenkins\, the poem explores the relationship between the built environment and natural systems; how we shape the river\, and how it continues to shape us. \nGrounded in the themes of Sacred Water\, Shared Future\, the piece considers the river’s role in the region’s identity\, history\, and culture\, while acknowledging the progress made over the past century to restore its health. It invites us to reflect on a shared responsibility: how we depend on the river\, and what it takes to sustain it for generations to come. \nThe program will include remarks from MWMO leadership and partners\, followed by a live performance of the poem. \nGuests are invited to stay\, enjoy light refreshments\, and explore the building\, grounds\, and current exhibit.

SUMMARY:Share the River
DESCRIPTION:After a couple years hiatus\, Share the River is back! \nJoin us on Saturday\, June 27 from 9 a.m. to noon for a free\, low-stakes way to experience the Mississippi River. No paddling experience\, gear\, or prior knowledge required. Just show up\, hop in a canoe\, and let experienced guides take care of the rest. Canoe rides will be led by guides from Wilderness Inquiry\, with support from MWMO staff. \nThis event is an easy introduction to the river. You don’t need to be outdoorsy. You don’t need to know how to paddle. You don’t even need to commit to staying the whole time; just drop in anytime during the event window\, take a guided ride\, and see the river from a perspective most people never do. \nAnd while you’re here\, you’ll also get to explore the MWMO Stormwater Park and Learning Center\, where we’ll have light refreshments and hands-on activities that connect what you just experienced on the water to the bigger picture: how this river works\, why it matters\, and what’s being done to protect it. \nThis is a family-friendly event for all ages (as long as participants weigh at least 30 lbs. to fit provided life jackets)\, and a great way to learn about the river’s ecology\, water quality\, and the plants and animals that call it home\, without it ever feeling like a lecture.
