      <image:title>Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change - Resistance Plots:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Consist of trees that currently grow in forested areas along the Upper Mississippi River but may be underrepresented due to challenges in regeneration. The strategy behind this treatment is to maintain the forest's current condition by encouraging these species to regenerate, either naturally or by planting. This includes maintaining large cottonwood and silver maple for wildlife habitat and closed canopy conditions. Resistance Trees: Silver maple (Acer saccharinum) American elm (Ulmus americana) Eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides) Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis) River birch (Betula nigra) Swamp white oak (Quercus bicolor)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change - Resilience Plots:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Contain a greater variety of species native to the Mississippi River that are more flood and drought-tolerant, and may be better adapted to future climate conditions. The underlying strategy is to help the forest withstand potential changes in flooding regime and hydrological changes due to climate change, but encourage an eventual return to its original state. Resilience Trees: Silver maple (Acer saccharinum) American elm (Ulmus americana) Eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides) Black willow (Salix nigra) River birch (Betula nigra) Bur oak (Quercus macrocarpa) American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) Swamp white oak (Quercus bicolor)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Adaptive Silviculture for Climate Change - Transition Plots:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Contain trees that grow further south along the Mississippi River and southern genotypes of current species. This strategy aims to equip the forest for change by promoting species that are adapted to projected future climates. Transition Trees: Silver maple (Acer saccharinum) Red maple (Acer rubrum) American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) River birch (Betula nigra) Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) Southern pin oak (Quercus palustris) Northern pecan (Carya illinoensis) Yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Balancing Act: Exploring the Impacts of Disturbance Regimes on Floodplain Forests - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Floodplain forests are extremely beneficial to wildlife as they provide a large variety of habitats for aquatic and terrestrial animals. The Mississippi River is a migratory corridor for birds; bald eagles love to nest alongside the river, and many other fish, amphibians, and reptiles call these areas home. Floodplains help recharge groundwater supply and create fertile ground for vegetation, which is a large reason why many agricultural societies settled around rivers. The earliest Native Americans lived in floodplains due to the wealth of food and ease of access to travel.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“My favorite part about working on the Mississippi River is restoring the wide diversity of habitats along our park with people! From prairie, floodplain, and bluff habitats, it is amazing to see the different species and geological formations. I also love how I am with dedicated partners, staff, and volunteers in sharing these spaces and restoring our habitats together.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I love that going to the waters of the Mississippi is a part of my everyday life! Whether I am having a partner meeting along the river's shore, kayaking on the river for a BIPOC event, or simply touching the river's water, I am able to consistently reconnect with the River and, in turn, reconnect with myself. It's also incredibly meaningful to be able to play a small part in helping others begin or deepen their relationship with the Mississippi River.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“One of my absolutely favorite memories along the river was taking a group of people who were from New Orleans down to the river's edge in February. Every 15 seconds or so, there would be an earthshattering popping and cracking sound from the ice as the top layer of ice settled over the current below. The temperatures were well below freezing but it was a calm day with little wind and each time we heard the loud CRACK, everyone would jump at the startling sound. It was delightful and also a visceral reminder of the power of the Mississippi River to engage all of our senses.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I am continually impressed by educators’ love for the river. MPC is fortunate to be a leader in helping a multitude of dedicated teachers get their students beyond the walls of a school building and into a river setting rich in flora, fauna, culture, and history. Getting students beyond screens and into natural surroundings has profound impact on their development, improving achievement, behavior, adult preparedness, health and overall confidence. Our multiple park partnerships help sustain a network of formal outdoor education, fostering strong relationships with schools relying on MPC for quality programs.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Mississippi River to the Max - Marielle Mateo, Forestry Program Coordinator</image:title>
      <image:caption>“My favorite things about working on the Mississippi are being outside and present with the river, and how much I learn every day. The quiet that settles over your mind while just standing or sitting outside, taking deep breaths, and watching the sunlight stream through the trees or dance as it reflects through the water is an experience that everyone should have access to. I also love learning how to identify and name trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and animals, discovering new hidden gems along the river, and sharing all that knowledge with partners and volunteers. We are so separated from nature in our day-to-day lives; it's nice to be able to reconnect through learning and knowledge sharing. Nature is a language that we should all strive to learn.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I used to walk across the Washington Ave Bridge almost every day to get to class and back home. Seeing the river gently flow and do her own thing provided me with a moment of respite - even on my most stressful days. One of my favorite MPC memories was when the artist Mayyadda sang her song 'Mississippi' at Picnic for the Park. In particular, the lyrics that stood out to me were: “Oh mighty river, wash over me. Let your currents remind me of the powers that be. And how all of the greatness that lies inside me has to develop like the great Mississippi...' I'll always cherish the river as a source of joy and peace, and I'm proud that I get to protect it through my work every day.”</image:caption>

It is important to follow the signs to avoid collisions with other skiiers. Some double tracks like the one pictured can be used to ski side-by-side with a friend, but always follow the sign directions. Copyright National Park Service.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>There are frustratingly few images that exist from the time that William Taylor led efforts to help freedom seekers. Artist Stefanie Kiihn used an image of a barbershop in Richmond, VA as a framework for an illustration of what Joseph Farr might have looked like as a young man helping his uncle in his barbershop. Kiihn states that the illustration “probably falls short of the actual thing, but my image serves as a placeholder until a real photo ever surfaces.” Learn more at: kiihn.com Copyright Stefanie Kiihn.

Be prepared that trails may have limited services: facilities may be closed, and maintenance and security may be limited or available. Find trail-manager contact info at TrailLink.com. On the trail, do not gather in groups. Avoid playgrounds or other areas where groups may form. Keep 6 feet between you and others at all times. Leave any area where you cannot maintain a 6-foot distance. Carry water, hand sanitizer, and disinfecting wipes to further protect yourself. Do not touch your face. Wash or sanitize your hands frequently. Stay home if you exhibit any symptoms of illness. Source: Rails to Trails Conservancy</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The park's three islands spotlight a mature forest of maple-basswood trees. The wide walking bridge leads from the shoreline to Chase Island but the other two islands -- Durnham and Gil Hodges -- are accessible only by water. Durnham Island, which is the largest of the three islands is straight west of Chase Island and can be seen across the channel. The third island, Gil Hodges, is the farthest upstream island.

      <image:caption>Saturday, March 29th; 9:30 AM - 1:30 PM Great blue herons start returning to their rookery on the Mississippi River toward the end of March. Join a park ranger at Marshall Terrace Park in Minneapolis to watch the herons rebuild their nests and do a little flirting. If we are lucky, we might see the resident peregrine falcons fly over, or see migrating ducks like buffleheads and goldeneyes. But whatever the birds do, we could use your help with the logistics of this program. We need help greeting program attendees, providing basic information, tracking program attendance, directing attendees to viewpoints, helping with binoculars and scopes, and chatting with visitors about herons. Sign up to help this fun springtime program take flight! Photo credit: NPS/Edwige Moses</image:caption>

Our program attracts hundreds of attendees in a couple short hours, and they have all kinds of questions about the rookery and about birds in general. If you are bird-confident, we could use your help answering those questions from the public and helping them as they use a spotting scope or binoculars. If you have a spotting scope to share, that would be greatly appreciated too! Photo credit: NPS/Kurt Moses</image:caption>

      <image:title>Volunteer - Why Volunteer?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Why Volunteer? The Volunteers-in-Parks (VIP) Program is co-managed by Mississippi Park Connection and the National Park Service for the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area. Volunteers are a crucial component in many areas of park operation at the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area. We offer a wide range of volunteer opportunities throughout the Twin Cities. Most options do not require training or a lengthy time commitment and we welcome drop-ins. It’s a great way to meet others and a fun and rewarding way to spend the day.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Explore the Floodplain Forest - Vanessa Agudo</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vanessa Agudo is a Chicana environmental professional from California, a mother, and a community-centered educator focused on environmental justice, urban forestry, and equitable access to green spaces. Her work centers on place-based approaches that connect BIPOC communities to local land and water through hands-on learning and community programming. She is especially interested in food systems, cultural connection, and community empowerment as pathways to environmental engagement. As someone actively relearning and unlearning colonial ways of thinking, Vanessa finds grounding and guidance in nature, which continues to shape both her personal journey and her work.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Explore the Floodplain Forest - Derell Scott</image:title>
      <image:caption>Derell Scott is an ISA Certified Arborist and University of Minnesota graduate with a BS major in environmental science and two minors in forestry. He has worked as an arborist in both commercial and public industries, and is now working on his own venture which is both fulfilling and and exciting. Most recently, he started an LLC called “Just A Fungi” with the mission to work with nonprofits and government organizations, aiding their initiatives to connect people with nature and create green spaces for their community. When he’s not doing forestry work, he teaches martial arts—specifically Judo and BJJ, and you can also find him in the woods foraging for edible plants and practicing his plant ID skills.  Derell writes that “growing up in the western Twin Cities, I was raised by the urban forest and the fruits it gave me. From fishing in Medicine Lake to longboarding through the trails by Theodore Wirth and even foraging for morels in random small woods in between neighborhoods, there are many parts of the urban forest that I unknowingly cherished in small but meaningful ways while growing up, and my goal is to help people see the same beauty in the nature right outside of their door.”</image:caption>
