The Life of a River: Mississippi, Source to Sea
On Saturday, April 25, 2026 at 10:25 A.M. there will be a program on The Life of a River: Mississippi, Source to Sea held at the Wapsi River Environmental Education Center in Dixon, IA. On its 2,300-mile journey, the Mississippi River transforms from a sky-blue trickle of a creek to an earth-toned torrent, collecting water from 32 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces before finally spilling into the sea. In this program, assistant naturalist Brendan O’Brien will use his 2024 canoe trip down the length of the Mississippi to tell the story of the river, from its agreed-upon source at Lake Itasca, Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. Online registration is required. To register, go to: https://iascottctyweb.myvscloud.com/webtrac/web/iteminfo.html?Module=AR&FMID=76939065
If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you in advance for sharing!
