Nature in Focus: The Dynamic Mississippi

Kroening Nature Center 4900 N Mississippi Dr, Minneapolis

The Mississippi River is constantly changing and being changed. Dive into hands-on discovery with a model river to see how rivers shape the landscape around them. Then learn how interventions to manage erosion and navigation have affected the river’s dynamics and wildlife in the metro area and beyond. Registration Required Ages 18+

The Sacred Water Shared Future campaign is powered by you! The heart of this centennial celebration is the incredible variety of events planned and hosted by our partners — community groups, nonprofits, businesses, schools, and individuals who feel a connection to the Mississippi River.

We do not host events ourselves; instead, we serve as a central hub for river-focused activities happening across the Twin Cities throughout 2026.
