Upstream Survey

Upstream seeks to inspire Minnesotans to care for our natural places through stories of how we use, value and care for them. We are conducting a survey of Minnesotans about our natural places and spaces, how we use them and how we care for them.

Take the Survey
(A lake, river, forest, park, yard, etc.)
(Camping, fishing, etc.; traditions, e.g. family reunions; celebrations, e.g. parties, weddings; reflection/meditation/relaxation)
(Pick up litter, remove invasive species, donate to conservation groups, avoid overuse, etc.)
Where do you look for inspiration for how you care for nature?
