The riverbank stabilization project in Mississippi River Community Park is underway. Tree clearing, bank reshaping, and riprap installation have been the primary focus at this stage in the construction process.
Future work will include native seeding, erosion control blanket installation, and planting of native shrubs and trees.
The project is funded by a Clean Water Fund grant, a Watershed Based Funding grant, and match from the City of Anoka. Watch for more updates from ACD and the City of Anoka as the project progresses.

Tree clearing, bank reshaping, riprap installation, seeding, and erosion control blanket installation have all been completed.
