Columbus Fall Festival 2025

At the 2025 Columbus Fall Fest, the Sunrise River Watershed Management Organization partnered with the Anoka Conservation District to host a booth packed with conservation resources.

Visitors could learn about:
• 🏞️ Lakeshore restoration projects,
• 🐝 Backyard habitat & pollinator plantings,
• 🏡 Septic system replacement programs, and
• 🌳 Our annual tree sale sign-up!

We also had live frogs on display! 🐸

Other conservation partners at the Columbus Fall Fest include the Rice Creek Watershed District, University of Minnesota Extension, and Anoka County Master Gardeners. Together, these organizations highlighted the ways our community is working to protect water quality, restore habitats, and promote sustainable land practices. It was a fun-filled day celebrating both our community and the environment!
