Join our new City-Wide Water Quality Volunteer Network
As part of the Minneapolis Neighborhood Green Teams Coalition RCC is supporting 30 neighborhood associations across Minneapolis on the Northside, NE, SE, River Gorge, Hiawatha Nokomis area, Southside and SW Minneapolis to organize water quality volunteer teams.
With initial support from the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization RCC will collaborate with the City, MPRB and Hamline to support additional neighborhoods to follow the amazing example of the Uptown/Chain of Lakes Green Guardian’s 9 neighborhood coalition working to clean up Lake Bde Maka Ska, Lake of the Isles and Cedar Lake. the MWMO is supporting this initiative through a Community grant.
You can express interest in joining the coalition by completing our Minneapolis Green Teams interest survey.

Please rake the leaves up off your curb & bag or compost them before the winter snows
Join our #cleancurb2023 challenge – rake the leaves up off your curb & bag or compost them before the winter snows (after the city street sweeper has come) and post your photo with your name, neighborhood or city on social media with #cleancurb2023 so we can see the impact we are making together! Leaves that mush down on your curb all winter send harmful pollution into water bodies. https://rccmn.co/water/
