The Anoka Sandplain Partnership is a coalition of 25 conservation stakeholders, led by Great River Greening, with a mission to bring together their collective expertise, resources and connections to advance terrestrial and freshwater resource conservation in this ecological region. Their 'mission' is to; maintain the health of this unique ecosystem and help restore what is damaged; accordingly, the Anoka Sandplain Partnership has identified two critical needs: Protect the water quality and supply and Create good habitat and beautiful parks. It is our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, and to provide quality, cost-effective and efficient government services.
