Mississippi River Green Team Documentary

The Mississippi River Green Team was created through a partnership between Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO) and Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board (MRPB). Youth crews spend a summer learning how to identify invasive species, prevent erosion, establish raingardens and prairie plantings, undertake projects to improve the water quality of our river and watershed., and assist in scientific studies. Being on the Green Team offers students the opportunity to have a mentored job experience, learn about environmental careers and acquire new skills. Watch a newly released documentary by John Akre that shows students from North and Northeast Minneapolis, including Edison students, in action on the Mississippi River Green Team.
