Any community organization, business, and individuals that are interested in learning about this partnership opportunity are invited to attend an informational session on Thursday November 7th, 2019. Registration is available at www.rochesterstormwater.com through Eventbrite. Two sessions are being offered with goal of accommodating schedules 2PM at City Hall and 6:30PM at Cascade Meadow Wetlands and Environmental Science Center.

“We Are Water MN” reveals the central nature of water in our lives by exploring how we relate to water—how we use water, how water unites communities, how water affects every element of life, and how we care for our water and protect water for the future. Visitors reflect on local stories and the meaning and experiences of water in Minnesota with space to add their own stories. By creating relationships around water, we are creating networks that can promote positive social norms, and share a vision for, and participate in, water stewardship.
