Sustainable Eden Prairie
Sustainable Eden Prairie is an ongoing effort focusing on education and implementation of sustainable practices to protect the environment and natural resources our community enjoys.
Building upon the success of the 20-40-15 initiative, the City is leading by example and providing a foundation for residents and businesses to carry out sustainable practices in four areas — energy, landscape, waste and water.
Volunteers Needed to Monitor Wetlands
Hennepin County is seeking volunteers to monitor wetlands as part of its Wetland Health Evaluation Program.
The Wetland Health Evaluation Program (WHEP) seeks adult volunteers with an interest in wetlands, bugs and/or plants. Applicants do not need a science background or previous experience. Hennepin County provides all the training, equipment and leadership.
Volunteers are expected to commit 15 hours per month from June to September.
Residents of the following cities and neighboring communities are encouraged to apply for area teams:
- Bloomington
- Brooklyn Center
- Brooklyn Park
- Corcoran
- Eden Prairie
- Medina
- Minneapolis
- Minnetonka
- Plymouth
Partnering cities use WHEP data to determine the health of water resources and manage natural resources.
The deadline to submit volunteer applications is June 1. For more information or to become a volunteer, call Mary Karius at 612-596-9129 or visit Hennepin County's website at hennepin.us.
