Serving the metro since 1975
We work to preserve and improve water resources and related ecosystems in the eastern Twin Cities metropolitan area. Partnering with the 12 cities in our district, we manage about 65 square miles that eventually drain into the Mississippi River, including 20 lakes, five streams and over 1,000 wetlands.
Featured Project
Keller Golf Course
Ecological restoration work on Maplewood’s Keller Golf Course earned Project of the Year honors from the Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts at the organization’s annual meeting this past December. Our 15-year partnership with Course Superintendent Paul Diegnau has created substantial urban wildlife habitat on this Ramsey County course while protecting the Phalen Chain of Lakes from runoff.
