We translate science into policy and action to preserve our freshwater resources.
We are moving!
We have officially vacated our offices at 2424 Territorial Road. We will be transitioning to our new space throughout early 2021 with staff continuing to work remotely. During this time, email is the best way to reach us. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Special Message - Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Protecting the health of our community is of the utmost importance to us. As such, most Freshwater staff will continue to work remotely, and there will be no in-person meetings or events held at Freshwater’s offices. We continue to operate in compliance with Governor Tim Walz’s Stay Safe Minnesota executive order and the recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and the Minnesota Department of Health.
