4th Annual Earth Day Event at Glacial Ridge

On April 19, 2007, The Glacial Ridge Project near Minnesota held its fourth annual Earth Day event. 156 sixth grade students from Crookston and Red Lake Falls participated in this annual event. Earth Day organizers  included six learning stations with hands on activities. A new addition for the 2007 Earth Day event included the Minnesota Zoo’s Zoomobile that used live animals and audience participation to create an educational and entertaining environmental experience.  

NRCS, along with over 30 public and private partners are cooperating in the 28,000 acre Glacial Ridge Restoration Project – one of the Nation’s largest wetland/tall grass prairie restoration projects – located in Minnesota’s Northern Tall Grass Prairie Eco-region.

The Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Wetlands Reserve Program is the catalyst for the restoration efforts at Glacial Ridge.
