Come to this educational Happy Hour, hosted by Friends of Pool 2, to learn about conservation initiatives along the Mississippi River and in the East Metro. Presenter Angie Hong will talk about:

• An ongoing Army Corps of Engineers study that could lead to removal of the Ford and Lower St. Anthony Falls Dams

• A redevelopment project in St. Paul at the site of the former Ford Plant

• The re-wilding of Phalen Creek (St. Paul) and Trout Brook (Afton State Park); and

• A brand-new stormwater park in Woodbury that will be completed in the fall.

Friends of Pool 2 will provide hot dogs and chips for this event. Please bring your own beverage and a friend. Enjoy conversation and a great view from the floating clubhouse of the St. Paul Yacht Club in the Upper Harbor on Harriet Island.
