About Us

Our mission is to inspire people and organizations to value, protect, and improve the Cannon River Watershed’s land and water.

We envision a community that creates and protects a watershed with healthy soils; drinkable groundwater; and clean, fishable, and swimmable rivers, lakes, and streams.

Our Core Values Guide Our Work

  • Build Resilience

    We build individual and community capacity to act in ways that are economically, environmentally, and culturally sustainable, even in the face of adversity. Everything we do on land shows up in the water.

  • Act Equitably

    We work to create equitable and sustainable benefits from and access to the watershed and consider the impacts of our actions in all we say and do. Who will benefit from this? Who will be hurt by it?

  • Engage Intentionally

    We meet people where they are and support them in what they’re doing to improve the watershed. Everyone can do something to help the watershed.

  • Inspire Hope

    Our work is driven forward because we believe that there are actions that people and communities can take to make a difference for the land, water, and climate. People can change our environment.
