The Cedar River Watershed District, formed in 2007, is dedicated to reducing flooding and improving water quality in the Mower, Dodge, Freeborn, and Steele counties of Minnesota. Covering nearly 435 square miles of fertile farmland, the district encompasses the Cedar River, stretching from its headwaters near Hayfield to the Iowa border.
With a focus on conservation programs, water monitoring, educational outreach, and permits, the Cedar River Watershed District works towards its mission through the efforts of its Board of Managers, who meet monthly and are appointed by county commissioners. The district also provides resources, maps, and educational opportunities to engage the public in understanding and protecting the Cedar River and its surrounding environment.
