The River Leaders Project is a new initiative , where people engaged in efforts to enhance the Mississippi River gather to share ideas, build common ground, and develop a shared vision. The River Leaders Project grew out of a luncheon last fall and two meetings were held this past spring. Projects currently discussed include investigating new funding sources for river work, improving coordination between cities, agencies, industry, and community groups, and investigating American Heritage Rivers designation. Based in Walker, Minnesota. Funding is through the National Agroforestry Center.
Work is part-time over the next two years.
