Questions about a specific issue on your farm?
We cultivate collaborative local work for watershed scale change in the Upper Mississippi River Basin, including much of Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin. If you have questions about local fish, the condition of a particular stream on your farm, or farming practices specific to your location, please start by contacting one of these local or regional resources.
