Championing the Upper Mississippi River Region
How a life-long conservationist became an advocate for the Mississippi…a League president discusses conservation & change
Mary Ellen Miller - President, League of Women Voters Mississippi River Region Board
Conservation activist and tree-hugger, Mary Ellen will share the League’s connection between advocacy, voting, and the state of the river. She will discuss the work that members are involved with to improve soil health and water quality and how they are working with others in the Upper Mississippi River network to take action for change.
This monthly series is a project of the Upper Mississippi River Initiative (UMRI) of the Izaak Walton League of America/MN Division, with co-hosts Chris Henning of the Panora Conservation Chapter and Des Moines Chapter Communication Director, Bud Hartley.
We feature guests for 30-40 minute presentations that shed daylight on good works done in the name of the Mississippi and its uplands. In this way we uplift our shared goals for a cleaner river, a cared for environment, and kinder communities. Recorded programs are available shortly after they air live.
