The Berger Fountain, known as the dandelion fountain to most, was installed in 1975 by Benjamin Berger and has been a beloved neighborhood landmark in Loring Park and a favorite location for wedding photographers and children ever since. Ben Berger was a park board commissioner and, after seeing a dandelion fountain in Australia, fundraised to build a sister fountain right here in Minnesota.

We are seeking funds to showcase the immigrant and refugees stories: lives, talents, culture and history beyond survival. Too often the stories of immigrants and refugees are framed in the context of surviving. The problem in those stories is that they miss the richness of the lives of migrants starting in a different country. The multimedia project will work on the stories from several angles, narrative, mural making, written stories, portraits, video and pictures.

The Cannon River Watershed is a diverse watershed from the standpoint of topography, land use, and land cover, but a central issue of concern is increased sedimentation and turbidity within the river. One of the best ways to keep sediment from entering the Cannon River is to install vegetative buffers on the smaller tributaries in the upper reaches of the watershed. This project is important as it aims to help identify strategic locations where buffers are needed and to assist landowners to install buffers that will directly help reduce sedimentation within the watershed.
