Thank you to the participants, contributors and sponsors of the Great River Coalition's Earth Day 5K Bee Run/Walk/River Cleanup on April 23rd! The Great River Coalition is dedicated to bees and other pollinators, with a goal to create a Pollinator Pathway in Minneapolis, and develop a coalition of partners to extend this critical habitat from Lake Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico. Check out more event photos on their Facebook page.
