Together, we seek to enhance the Minneapolis riverfront environment—for people and pollinators 

The Great River Coalition advocates for initiatives and policies that consider the historical, commercial, spiritual, and environmental significance of one of the Twin Cities' greatest assets: the mighty Mississippi. In doing so, we bring awareness to the vital role pollinators play in the health of our riverfront communities. Learn more.

The Minneapolis riverfront is part of the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, which holds the distinction as the country's only national park along the Mississippi River. Pollinators rely on this land for critical habitat—and we rely on them. Learn more about our goal of creating a Pollinator Pathway.
