A River Story Stroll
Walk, learn, and read surrounded by nature in a Story Stroll at Viking Ship Park in Moorhead. From October 25 – November 4 can walk along the paved path and read the picture book, “A River!” by Marc Martin (recommended for ages 10 and under). This is a fun and free activity to do with kids to celebrate the river and enjoy the fall. The signage along the trail will be numbered. Each sign includes either an action or some educational information related to the page in the book.
Project Partners: River Keepers, Moorhead Public Library, and Moorhead Parks and Recreation.
Red River Water Festival Summary
“Walking around the Hjemkomst Center and grounds, you could feel the excitement of the 1550 fourth graders from 26 schools during the Red River Water Festival. Their eagerness to learn about all things water was reflected in their curious faces and intermittent giggles. The students were able to learn and experience a variety of topics through different presenters. Stations included “Would You Drink This Water,” “Stream Sense,” “H2O Olympics,” and many others. Not only were they able to hear about water processes in the environment, but they also heard about the negative impacts currently affecting water sources. Along with this, they discussed ways in which they could practice better water sustainability. You could really see their faces light up when they applied this knowledge to an interactive activity or game.” – Isabella Ternes – Sustainability, Multimedia Journalism, and Photojournalism Intern
A huge thank you to Red River Water Festival major sponsors Xcel Energy and the North Dakota Department of Water Resources/Project WET! Other sponsors include: Scheels, Houston Engineering, AE2S, RDO, R.D. Offutt Company, City of Fargo and the City of Moorhead.

Reforest the Red Summary
Thank you to all of the volunteers who worked hard at Reforest the Red Fargo! Hundreds of volunteers (including individuals, friends and families, school groups, and many local organizations) came together to plant 3,500 trees and shrubs at North River Grassland. Volunteers dug holes, planted, staked, mulched and watered the trees. These trees and shrubs will improve riverbank stability, encourage the growth of native plants, improve water quality, provide habitat for river wildlife, and more!
Project partners: City of Fargo, Fargo Park District, River Keepers and Cass County Soil Conservation District.
