Cynthia Krieg (1954-2000)

The Cynthia Krieg Stewardship Fund was established by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) in 2000 in memory of Cynthia Krieg, who dedicated her life to community service and natural resource protection. The fund is dedicated to projects that promote environmental stewardship through education and innovation within the District.

This program gives grants to landowners who are voluntarily willing to replace failing subsurface sewage treatment (septic) systems. Property owners can apply for a grant of up to $2,000 towards system replacement.

In 2011, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) will give grants to partnering cities to have their street sweepings analyzed by a laboratory in an effort to identify and measure pollutants that enter storm sewers. The resulting data will help the MCWD and cities take actions that limit the amount of those pollutants that make their way into our lakes, streams, and wetlands.
