The Mississippi River is one of the nation's most important natural assets. Covering 41 percent of the continental U.S, its watershed stretches across the heart of the nation, spanning the far reaches of the Platte River in Nebraska to the Great Lakes, and hosting a globally significant flyway and habitat for more than 325 species of birds. The diverse wetlands created by the river and its tributaries are not only vital to birds, but to people, from New Orleans to communities farther upstream. A national treasure, with tremendous economic as well as ecological importance, for over 200 years “America’s River” has also inspired the development of a rich, vibrant and unique cultural heritage, from Mark Twain, to the Delta Blues, to some of our nation’s most celebrated cuisine.
Minnesota's birds need your help! You are critical to our efforts to protect birds and their habitats throughout Minnesota. Our work cannot take place without your financial support. Gifts to Audubon Minnesota stay in Minnesota to support local programs.
