Great River Greening inspires, engages, and leads local communities in conserving and caring for the land and water that enrich our lives.

The Anoka Sandplain Partnership is a coalition of conservation stakeholders, led by Great River Greening, with a mission to bring together their collective expertise, resources and connections to advance terrestrial and freshwater resource conservation in this ecological region.

The Anoka Sandplain serves as a critical filter of groundwater in Anoka County (and east-central Minnesota). It also permits valuable groundwater recharge to supply water wells and communities that depend on clean, abundant drinking water. A critical need for the Anoka Sandplain Partnership is the management of water resources that:

• Protects the natural fresh water stored in aquifers, and
• Maintains wetlands that naturally cleans water and reduces flood impacts.
