How Jenna Ray, Deputy Executive Director of Community Impact at @givemn and Upstream Board Member, Implements #LovingWhereWeLive:⁠⁠Jenna says "Becoming a parent gave me a deeper sense of commitment and urgency when it came to caring for our natural places and everyone who has a connection to them…It gave me a clear understanding of how special our ecosystems are—not only outdoors but also in terms of our shared culture—and how great a responsibility we have to honor our waters, woods, and fields as well as one another." ⁠🪵⁠⁠Since joining Upstream, Jenna has learned that "there’s more that unites us than divides. We’re unwavering fans of the North Shore and wow, do we love our state—both the people and the place that make up what we’ve come to understand as Minnesota."⁠ ⁠⁠Her favorite outdoor place in Minnesota is the Glacial Lakes State Park, outside of Starbuck. ️⁠⁠Tap the link in bio to read Jenna's #CareForPlace story and her tips on becoming a better steward.⁠.⁠.⁠.⁠.⁠#parenthood #parenting #family #outdoors #mn #minnesota
