The Flute Reed Watershed Partnership is a grassroots watershed group in Hovland, MN.
We are all volunteers in this non-regulatory effort. Our goal is to educate ourselves and our community
about the river’s ecosystem and to positively influence its environment.
Why the Partnership name? We want to partner with our neighbors and fellow stakeholders to accomplish the goal above.
We also want to partner with county, state and federal agencies, higher education institutions, other citizen groups and
anyone else who can help with support and assistance toward this goal.
Our mission is to foster stewardship within the community, to maintain, restore and enhance the watershed health of the Flute Reed River.
Membership
Please join the Flute Reed Partnership!
It's only $10/year, $25/3 years, or $40/5 years
and is tax deductible!!

In the first half hour we’ll have a Treasurer's report, an update on our big GLRI grant projects and our board election.
At 7:30 Kerrie Berg is going to tell us about rain gardens, i.e. how they help the river, about the gardens that have been built in Cook County and how
future grant money might be available to help people in the Flute Reed watershed build them. Kerrie is District Manager at the Cook County Soil & Water District.
The whole community is invited.
Carolyn Schmidt is the only nomination for her open seat on the board so she is running unopposed unless FRP members want to write in a
candidate. This is a three year term on the board. Please email your vote to Rick Schubert. Voting can also be done at the annual meeting.
Hope to see you on the 23rd!

Annual Meeting:
Thursday, July 28, 2011
5:00-6:30 pm at the Hovland Town Hall
We will have a special talk by Paul Sandstrom on "Has
the Flute Reed always run brown?". Paul is with the National Resources
Conservation Service in Duluth, part of the US Dept of Agriculture, has
fished the Flute Reed many times and has decades of experience with North
Shore streams. "The Flute Reed has always been brown" is a comment we often hear.
Come find out if it's true. This is a fascinating history of our rivers up here.
We will also have refreshments and an update of our activities over the last
year, especially pertaining to our GLRI grant.
