      <image:title>Blog - What Do We Do When the Buckthorn Is Gone?&amp;nbsp; - Now, when it comes to replacing buckthorn, it helps to get a picture of what we’re working against. Buckthorn is a highly aggressive, thorny shrub that originates from Europe. In its native habitat, buckthorn is kept at bay by insects and other highly competitive species that keep it from forming the dense understory thickets that occupy many North American forests. Without stressors to manage their population, the shrubs dominate Minnesota woodlands and prairies alike, outcompeting native species. Worse yet, buckthorn is a fruiting plant. When birds and mammals consume these berries, the seeds in their droppings help to further distribute this already aggressive plant.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Adding Up 2025&amp;nbsp; - With the hard work and dedication of our ecologists and the support of donors, volunteers, and community members across the state, we blew our goal of 10,000 acres out of the water! We’re now even closer to our goal of 100,000 acres than we thought possible, doubling the impact of our first 30 years by 2030. With this year’s acres, our total has climbed to over 62,000 acres so far— only 38,000 to go in the next four years!</image:title>

      <image:caption>Pentair and the Pentair Foundation continue to lead with purpose, supporting efforts that reduce water stress and build ecological resilience—key priorities in their global mission to help the world sustainably move, improve, and enjoy water. In 2025, Pentair contributed to our work at Sakatah Wildlife Management Area, where wetland restoration is helping to protect one of southern Minnesota’s critical aquatic systems. These land-based interventions are creating ecosystem-wide benefits, from cleaner water and improved storage to more climate-resilient landscapes. We are also grateful for Pentair’s annual hands on commitment.  Their interns do a dedicated volunteer day in the field, helping bring these projects to life.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Adolfson &amp; Peterson Construction (AP) continued to show its commitment to environmental stewardship in the past year. In fall 2024, AP made a generous $50,000 gift to Great River Greening through its annual Golf Fore Gratitude fundraising tournament—demonstrating how philanthropy and fun can come together to fuel conservation. Their impact didn’t go unnoticed—AP was selected to receive our 2024 Headwaters Award, honoring outstanding leadership in corporate conservation and community engagement. Beyond financial support, AP partnered with us on one of our most visible outreach efforts: Seeds on a Stick, a creative and engaging educational giveaway distributed at the Minnesota State Fair. We are especially grateful to Molly Weiss, AP’s Chief Human Resources Officer and a dedicated member of Greening’s board of directors.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Spotlight on our Corporate Partners - CENTERPOINT ENERGY FOUNDATION</image:title>
      <image:caption>CenterPoint Energy has been a valued community partner to Great River Greening for nearly 25 years—and in 2024, they deepened that commitment with their largest gift to date:  a $50,000 grant from their Foundation to support our one-of-a-kind mobile biochar initiative. This pioneering project is transforming how we restore degraded landscapes by turning invasive woody biomass into carbon-rich biochar that improves soil health, retains water, and stores carbon. The CenterPoint Energy Foundation is continuing that support through a grant this year to support Greening’s biochar field day at the 2025 North American Biochar Conference in September.  Our relationship with CenterPoint dates back to 2000, just a year after Greening became an official nonprofit. Since then, CenterPoint and their Foundation have contributed more than $200,000, engaged over 100 employee volunteers, and worked with Greening Solutions to convert turf into pollinator habitat at a company building. Because of their continued support of our mission, CenterPoint Energy was honored with the 2023 Headwaters Award.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Spotlight on our Corporate Partners - XCEL ENERGY</image:title>
      <image:caption>Xcel Energy has been with Great River Greening since the very beginning and their support continues to show up in meaningful ways: from foundation grants and sponsorships to hands-on restoration through their annual Xcel Energy Day of Service, when employee volunteers dig in to remove invasive species, plant native habitat, and improve local green spaces. We are especially grateful for the leadership of Tim Rogers, Xcel Energy Sr. Manager, Siting and Permitting and a dedicated member of Greening’s board of directors. In 2025, we’re especially proud to be recognized as a featured nonprofit through the Saint Paul Saints, thanks to Xcel Energy’s sponsorship. This platform helps elevate Greening’s mission in front of thousands of Minnesotans—amplifying our impact and inviting new supporters to get involved. Xcel Energy was honored with the 2019 Headwaters Award.</image:caption>

Their grant will support a student-led tree planting project at Harding High School, in partnership with the Harding Earth Club. It will also support a mini forest planting project at Battle Creek Elementary, introducing young students to hands-on conservation and transforming a portion of their schoolyard into a living classroom filled with native trees and plants.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Spotlight on our Corporate Partners - GRANITE PARTNERS</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 2025, Granite Partners demonstrated their deep commitment to local conservation by supporting Great River Greening financial and with a hands-on seeding event at Quarry Park Nature Preserve in Waite Park. As part of Great River Greening’s broader woodland restoration efforts at this well-loved site, Granite Partners rallied their team to help launch a large-scale native seeding effort that will support long-term forest health and biodiversity. Their support didn’t stop there. In celebration of Earth Day, Granite Partners helped plant trees through their participation in an annual Earth Day Run event: one tree will be planted for every youth who participated in the 1K fun run—resulting in nearly 400 new trees taking root in Minnesota. We are especially grateful for the leadership of Meg Hickey McGuire, Granite Partner’s Investment Director and a dedicated member of Greening’s board of directors.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Spotlight on our Corporate Partners - ECOLAB</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ecolab continues to lead by example, putting their commitment to water stewardship, climate leadership, and sustainability into action across Minnesota. In 2025, Ecolab employees joined us in the field for multiple hands-on volunteer events, helping restore habitat and strengthen ecosystems in the communities where they live and work. Their partnership goes beyond volunteerism. The Ecolab Foundation has provided consistent grant and sponsorship support since 2012, helping us expand restoration efforts across the state. We are especially grateful for the leadership of Amie Hedblom, Ecolab Director, Corporate Sustainability Marketing and a dedicated member of Greening’s board of directors. Ecolab was honored with our 2022 Headwaters Award, and they continue to exemplify what it means to be a corporate steward of the environment—combining financial support, employee engagement, and visionary leadership to help build a more sustainable Minnesota.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Spotlight on our Corporate Partners - SHRED RIGHT</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 2025, Shred Right brought new energy to their environmental commitment by launching a collaborative Spring Cleaning Shred Event with Kowalski’s Markets, raising funds to support Great River Greening around Earth Day. This innovative effort gave community members an easy way to securely dispose of documents while directly contributing to local conservation work. Shred Right’s long-standing partnership with Greening—through both the company and the Mason Family Foundation—continues to shine through our Future Stewards Program, which provides students with hands-on, nature-based learning experiences. These moments in the field help young people understand ecosystems, grow their confidence, and build a personal connection to the land.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Spotlight on our Corporate Partners - KOWALSKI’S MARKETS</image:title>
      <image:caption>Kowalski’s Markets continues to show that everyday choices—like bringing a reusable bag—can lead to meaningful environmental change. Through their Bag Donation Program, guests receive a 5¢ refund for every reusable bag they bring, with the option to donate that refund to Great River Greening. These small acts add up, and thanks to the generosity of Kowalski’s and their guests, this program continues to raise vital support for local conservation. In 2025, Kowalski’s expanded their environmental commitment by partnering with Shred Right for a Spring Cleaning Shred Event, giving community members a safe and sustainable way to dispose of documents while raising additional funds for Greening around Earth Day.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Spotlight on our Corporate Partners - WINNEBAGO INDUSTRIES</image:title>
      <image:caption>Winnebago Industries continues to champion access to the outdoors for all—a goal that closely aligns with Great River Greening’s mission. In 2024, Winnebago Industries provided vital general operating support, helping advance our core programs: restoring natural lands, expanding urban green spaces, growing tree canopies, and educating Minnesota’s next generation of environmental stewards. Their support goes beyond funding. Last year, Greening staff partnered with the Winnebago Industries team to co-create our popular Seeds on a Stick activity, blending environmental education with fun, hands-on engagement. These seed packets were later shared with hundreds of Minnesotans at the State Fair, inspiring people of all ages to connect with native plants and pollinator habitats.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This year, the Minnesota Twins stepped up to support Great River Greening through the Twins x Thrivent “At Bat for Impact” campaign, highlighting our work alongside other local nonprofits building stronger, greener communities. Thanks to this partnership, Greening is being featured throughout the summer—including in-stadium visibility at Target Field—and receiving direct support through both fan voting and a matching gift opportunity powered by Thrivent. We’re grateful to the Twins for helping bring conservation into the spotlight and rallying support for a healthier, more resilient Minnesota.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Toro Company brought a team of employees out to celebrate Earth Day with Great River Greening—and the impact was immediate. Inspired by the experience, The Toro Company Foundation committed to partnering with Greening to volunteer on Earth Day every year through 2030 - a first-of-its-kind commitment for us. This multi-year partnership reflects a deep belief in the power of hands-on stewardship and long-term investment in community-based conservation.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Connexus Energy supported Great River Greening in advancing large-scale wetland restoration at one of Minnesota’s most treasured public lands: the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge. Through grant support, Connexus is helping to combat invasive hybrid cattail across more than 900 acres of wetland, improving habitat quality for nesting and migrating birds—especially waterfowl—and restoring native plant diversity. The result is healthier wetlands, better wildlife habitat, and a more resilient ecosystem at a site visited by thousands each year.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Spotlight on our Corporate Partners - CARGILL</image:title>
      <image:caption>Support from Cargill’s “Success from the Ground Up” program has been crucial in expanding Greening’s regenerative agriculture work and promoting continuous living cover (CLC) crops in southern Minnesota. Many of the CLC crops currently being piloted are still fairly new, so having community support for farmers can alleviate many of their concerns. Community support also drives demand in these new markets, resulting in more economic stability for farmers piloting CLC crops. Thanks to the generous support from Cargill and through direct conversations with farmers, Greening supported the planting of 4,400 new acres of CLC crops in Nicollet County, improving soil health, water quality, and carbon capture.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Pentair and the Pentair Foundation support efforts to reduce water stress and build ecological resilience as Pentair focuses on helping the world sustainably move, improve and enjoy water. The Pentair Foundation awarded Greening with a grant to restore a 6-acre former dump site along the Crow Wing River near Pillager into an ecological restoration project that improves water quality by promoting natural filtration and habitat restoration. Thank you, Pentair and the Pentair Foundation, for supporting this land-based restoration work that will have ecosystem-wide benefits, including improved water quality and storage, enhanced habitats that support pollinators and other wildlife, and increased climate resilience.</image:caption>

We extend our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the team at Yamamoto and their CEO (and former Great River Greening board member), Kathy McCuskey.

      <image:caption>“One of our important goals as a company going forward is environmental stewardship. We’ve recently started helping and working with Great River Greening. I have groups of people even down on the Mississippi just cutting buckthorn,” says Brad Hendrickson, President of the Midwest region at Adolfson &amp; Peterson Construction (AP). In addition to volunteer support, AP has also raised funds for Great River Greening at their last two “Golf Fore Gratitude” golf tournaments. Greening is also fortunate to have the expertise and guidance of Molly Weiss, AP’s Chief Human Resources Officer, on our board of directors. We are so thankful for AP’s support in many ways!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Spotlight on our Corporate Partners - CENTERPOINT ENERGY FOUNDATION</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our collaboration with CenterPoint Energy dates back to 2000, starting just one year after Greening became an official 501(c)(3). As of 2023, CenterPoint Energy has donated $150,000 to fund Greening’s important work. More than 100 employee volunteers have helped to bring projects to life! Whether it’s volunteering with us on Earth Day, working with Greening’s fee-for-service program, Greening Solutions, to convert a turf grass lawn on a CenterPoint Energy campus into a resilient and thriving pollinator garden, or granting funds for land restoration projects, CenterPoint Energy continues to be an important collaborator and environmental steward. It’s no surprise that CenterPoint Energy was Greening’s 2023 Headwaters Award winner. Thank you, CenterPoint Energy!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Spotlight on our Corporate Partners - XCEL ENERGY</image:title>
      <image:caption>Xcel Energy is one of Greening’s longest standing partners, helping to kick off our first planting project along the Mississippi River in 1995. Over the past two decades, Xcel Energy has had members on the board, such as Tim Rogers, Manager, Sitting and Permitting and current Greening board member. Xcel Energy won Greening’s 2019 Headwaters Award in part due to its active participation in hands-on, volunteer-led environmental restoration and by consistently funding Greening through foundation grants and sponsorships. Each year, we look forward to their “Xcel Energy Day of Service,” in which we can count on employee volunteers rolling up their sleeves to improve a habitat by removing invasive species or planting native grasses, wildflowers, or shrubs. Thank you!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Spotlight on our Corporate Partners - ECOLAB</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ecolab is committed to driving environmental solutions in the areas of water stewardship, climate leadership, product sustainability, and global sustainability. We are so appreciative of their exemplary leadership—including that of Ecolab Senior Vice President and Greening board member, Christopher Smith—and continued partnership. Greening was proud to award Ecolab with the 2022 Headwaters Award. The Ecolab Foundation has provided grants and sponsorships to Greening since 2012, allowing us to transform and restore more of Minnesota’s natural habitats. But they don’t stop there—Ecolab employees have been active volunteers with us, holding annual volunteer events at Greening project sites and giving generously to help us create a greener, more sustainable Minnesota.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Spotlight on our Corporate Partners - SHRED RIGHT</image:title>
      <image:caption>Nature is our best classroom, and Shred Right’s partnership with Great River Greening through the Future Stewards Program reflects this belief. Shred Right and the Mason Family Foundation provide students with opportunities for nature-based, hands-on learning. Such experiences not only deepen their understanding of ecological principles, but also inspire personal growth and environmental stewardship. By engaging students directly in conservation efforts, we are planting seeds for lifelong respect and care of our natural world, impacting one mind at a time. #ShredRight4Good embraces the mantra of “reduce, reuse, recycle,” a powerful way to contribute to both environmental well-being and personal wellness for us all. Trees, as nature’s guardians, benefit tremendously from our sustainable practices. Reducing waste means fewer trees are cut down for paper production, and recycling ensures efficient use of resources. By reducing consumption, reusing materials, and recycling waste, we actively conserve resources and uphold our commitment to the planet. Thank you, Shred Right!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Kowalski’s is committed to working together to protect our beautiful planet. In support of that goal, they promote many earth-friendly practices that their customers can do at home or while shopping. For example, Kowalski’s gladly offers a 5¢ refund for every bag their guests bring in and use to bag their groceries AND their guests can opt to donate that refund to Great River Greening. These bag refunds add up to a significant amount! Thank you to Kowalski’s and your generous guests!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Spotlight on our Corporate Partners - THE OPUS GROUP</image:title>
      <image:caption>For the Opus Group and the Opus Foundation, stewardship has been at the core of their organization since the beginning. Thanks to generous funding, in part, from the Opus Foundation, Greening was able to launch its Future Stewards program in 2022. Future Stewards is a youth environmental education program serving nearly 300 students each year. Delivered in partnership with K-12 schools, participants engage in hands-on planting, restoration, and stewardship work and while also learning about green careers and the benefits of spending time in nature. Future Stewards increases student participation in outdoor activities that drive success in school, at home, and in their communities. Still going strong, the Future Stewards program continues to grow. Thank you, Opus!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>One of Winnebago Industries' goals is working to make the outdoors a welcoming and inclusive place for everyone, a goal that is at the heart of Greening’s work every day! Winnebago Industries has invested in this critical work by providing general operating funds that support Greening’s strategic programs including land-based restoration of natural areas, urban green spaces, tree canopies, and education of Minnesota’s environmental stewards. A key pillar of theirs is for increased participation and feelings of safety for underrepresented populations in outdoor activities &amp; spaces. Their investment in our work ensures that this happens!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Spotlight on our Corporate Partners - MINNESOTA TWINS</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Ripple Effect: a raindrop, a pond, a creek, a great lake, a mighty river. Inspired by the water and natural landscapes that enrich our lives in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, The Minnesota Twins launched their Major League Baseball (MLB) City Connect uniforms in June 2024. As part of the uniform’s Ripple Effect theme launch and celebration, the Twins partnered with 10 Minnesota artists who painted original works of art on locally made Minnesota shaped Adirondack chairs. Great River Greening was selected as a non-profit beneficiary when those ten chairs were auctioned off. We thank the Twins for their partnership in support of vital shoreline habitat restoration, and for their overall commitment to sustainability. Beyond the excitement of baseball games, Target Field stands as a testament to the Twins’ vison —proving that an entertainment facility can be a pioneer in sustainable practices, demonstrating a commitment to environmental responsibility, and inspiring fans to be champions for the very planet that sustains us.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - No Mow May: What’s the Buzz?</image:title>
      <image:caption>You may have noticed that your neighbors’ lawns are getting a little... what’s the word? ... LONG. Or perhaps you’ve started to see “No Mow May” signs pop up around the neighborhood. So, what’s going on with people not mowing their lawns? No Mow May is an initiative to protect pollinators by giving their habitat (like grasses and flowers) a chance to grow. By not cutting your grass, plants like daisies, clover, dandelions, and violets are able to grow big enough to flower. The pollen and nectar from these flowers provides food to our pollinator friends. Pollinators, including butterflies, bees, and moths, have experienced population declines in recent years—and they need our help. No Mow May is an easy way to pitch in—by doing nothing!</image:caption>
