Clean River Advisory Council: 2026 Community Survey

The Clean River Advisory Council (C-RAC) brings together environmental experts, community members, and river enthusiasts to improve water quality, expand natural infrastructure, and strengthen community connections to the Mississippi River. We support nature-based solutions—such as protecting wetlands, planting trees, and creating rain gardens—to reduce flooding, keep air and water clean, and make outdoor spaces healthier and more welcoming.

This 6–7 minute survey invites you to share your connection to the river, tell us about your concerns, and identify projects that could benefit your neighborhood or city. Your perspective will help guide community priorities and planning.

Participation is voluntary. You may skip any question or stop at any time. You do not need to provide your name or email to complete the survey.

As a thank-you for your time, you’ll have the option at the end of the survey to enter a drawing for a chance to win a $25 Walmart gift card.

Thank you for sharing your voice and helping shape a healthier, more connected river community!
