To achieve our vision of <br />healthy, climate change resilient ecosystems throughout <br />Minnesota, we center our work on projects that will build and <br />preserve healthy, adaptive habitats that can withstand the <br />effects of climate change. <br />VOLUNTEER AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS <br />Each year, Great River Greening engages thousands of <br />volunteers to work with us, side -by -side, on land close to <br />their homes. Our community roots run deep, partnering with <br />civic organizations, schools, businesses, non -profits, and <br />government agencies. We have engaged over 47,000 <br />volunteers, including 12,000 youth and young adults. <br />YOUTH EDUCATION AND FUTURE STEWARDS <br />Great River Greening reaches hundreds of youth and young <br />adults each year.
