Birds serve as an excellent environmental bell-weather. They reflect changes in the environment quickly; they warn us when nature is out of balance, sending out signals whenever there is deterioration in the ecosystem. How does Audubon protect clean water in Minnesota? Audubon Minnesota’s approach to protect and enhance clean water employs three strategies: Conservation, Advocacy, and Outreach and Education. In each endeavor, working to engage people is a hallmark of Audubon’s approach. Conservation:  Ensuring that proposed changes to Minnesotas Wetland Conservation Act do not reduce the number of wetlands that protect water quality  the Act protects hundreds of wetland acres in the Mankato region of south central Minnesota each year. Advocacy: Securing funds to restore and permanently protect wetlands on private lands through the RIM Reserve program which has protected hundreds of thousands of acres in the Minnesota River Basin for over 25 years.  Locally we are advocating for the installment of temporary measures, such as an electrical barrier at Mankato, to help slow the spread of invasive species such as Asian Carp, up the Minnesota River.

Artist Bio
(listen to songs on facebook page)

The Bitterroot Band was founded on the ideals of energetic simplicity. With this in mind, The Bitterroot Band strives to deliver an honest message in the clearest way possible.

Consisting of three members, The Bitterroot Band uses traditional folk-minded three part harmonies with honest and meaningful lyrics to deliver a passionate and soul stirring performance. On a backbone of rebellious rock attitude and raw traditional instrumentation, band members pride themselves on an unrelenting work ethic and a deep hunger to write, perform, and entertain.

The Bitterroot Band is known for crafting a rowdy live performance that inspires crowds to move to every tune. The Bitterroot Band honed their style at a weekly open mic night at a dive bar in Southern Minnesota. Their performance spread by word of mouth until the bar was at maximum capacity every Thursday. When the dance floor was full, folks danced on tables. The Bitterroot Band strives for such wild performances at every show.

With the release of their first official recordings entitled “Mason Jar EP” in February of 2013, The Bitterroot Bands momentum is continuing to grow and The Band is poised to take their sound to anywhere that welcomes their own brand of lyric driven, foot moving, folk music.
