Know someone making a big difference?

From cleaning up local parks to growing pollinator-friendly gardens, Unsung Caretakers are everyday Minnesotans who step up to care for the places we all share. Their efforts often go unseen, but they’re helping Minnesota thrive.

Help us recognize the neighbors, students, farmers, artists, and organizers who embody what it means to care for our land, water, and communities.

"Of the Meadow" by Upstream Artist Fellow Donna Miliotis who created this⁠as an autumnal ode to the artist's pollinator meadow. Donna says, "I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to be an Upstream Fellow! Thank you! I truly appreciate the enthusiasm and positive feedback given by both Upstream and Springboard staff members and the opportunity to get to know artists from around Minnesota. The brainstorming portions of the fellowship have given me many ideas for future work."⁠⁠Visit our website to see the fellows' final project. 🖼️️ — from Instagram
