Save the Mississippi River's Largest Restoration and Science Monitoring Program (UMRR)

The Mississippi River is the lifeblood of our nation, connecting communities, powering local economies, and supporting a rich web of ecosystems and wildlife. For nearly 40 years, the Upper Mississippi River Restoration Program (UMRR) has restored more than 121,000 acres of critical habitat and led groundbreaking science on caring for big rivers. Now, this successful, bipartisan program is at risk. Funding is on the chopping block, threatening jobs, wildlife, and clean water. Even if you don't live in the Upper River region, these proposed cuts will have downstream impacts and ripple effects nationwide. With budget decisions expected Monday, April 14th, now is the time to act.
