About this Event
Water Connects Us is a live virtual fundraising benefit charged with raising the financial resources our work for water requires. Join us as sponsors, donors, and community members from across the state come together to celebrate Minnesota's incredible water heritage and the role we each play in protecting it.
KARE 11 meteorologist Laura Betker is our emcee, and James Beard Award winner Beth Dooley returns to cook up something fun. Join us for speakers, stories, auction shopping and more!
Sneak peek: We'll also feature the work of Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin, a Guatemalan immigrant farmer known for his innovative approach to agricultural systems and environmental justice.
Freshwater scientists are testing and quantifying the physical, biological, and chemical changes in the soil resulting from regenerative poultry production, a systematized farm model that grazes poultry in diverse, continuous cover crops in a multi-level canopy with deep-rooted trees.
