Last year 140 volunteers showed that they care about the beauty and health of the Kinnickinnic River and we hope you will be part of an even larger turnout this year.

By Land
This is a wonderful way to explore the Kinni while collecting trash along its banks and making a difference to keep the Kinni cold, clean and free…forever!

By Water
If you’re an experienced paddler willing to clean up the river by canoe or kayak, please indicate that when you register. Kinni Creek Lodge and Outfitters is again generously volunteering the use of their kayaks as well as their staff and vans for this event. When you register, you must indicate in the Comments that you will be using one of their kayaks so we can coordinate with Kinni Creek Lodge the number of kayaks needed and the areas on the river to which volunteers are assigned.

Register
Please click here to register. REGISTRATION MUST BE RECEIVED BY 5:00 p.m. on Monday, April 24.  Then, on Saturday, April 29, meet at Glen Park Main Shelter in River Falls, WI at 9:00 a.m. sharp to receive your map and assignment.  When you are finished, please join us for a lunch for volunteers sponsored by River Falls Rotary, The West Wind Supper Club, American Rivers, Bremer Bank-New Richmond, Catalyst Sports Medicine, Kinni Creek Lodge, Randy Cudd, Edward Jones – River Falls offices, Friends of the Kinni, Leitch Insurance Agency, Pierce County Democrats, River Falls Tire, St. Croix Gas, and Viking Coca-Cola.

Steve is the Executive Director at Kinnickinnic River Land Trust. Steve has many responsibilities within the Trust and stated, "I listen to people who already have a sense of connection with the Kinni River; it helps me understand their personal passions of why they love the river so much, their concerns of keeping it clean, and what the future might look like. For others who might not have a personal connection to the river, I hope to develop a sense of place, so they too can develop a passion to help us protect the Kinni River, for many generations to come".

It's Phenology Friday! 🐝 You may have noticed It's Phenology Friday! 🐝

You may have noticed that a buzz has filled the air as our pollinator friends are active again after a long, cold winter. Bee's rely on flowers for nectar and pollen, and these tiny insects pollinate a majority of the crops we, as humans, rely on for food. Native prairie on KRLT preserves host a variety of wildflowers, making the preserves a wonderful haven for the bees, and a great spot for us to catch them in action!
