 Mississippi Valley Conservancy has been selected as one of the few by Patagonia and Moosejaw to be allowed to compete for $5,000.  To win, we must raise the most money online within a week.  Visit MVC's event page (www.crowdrise.com/teammississippivalle) by May 4 and make a donation, even $10. Alternatively, go to the page and sign up as a team member to use your social media networks to encourage your friends to support MVC!

I know it may not feel like it today with the cold wind, but spring is unfolding before us. If you see or photograph interesting things in nature (a spring wildlower blooming, a beautiful bird singing on a branch, or an early butterfly) or if you enjoy a sunset while hiking on one of MVC's nature preserves, please post it here and/or on the MVC Facebook page! We want to hear your nature stories!
