Via Midwest Mountaineering:

Midwest Mountaineering donates 10% of pre-tax profits to environmental and wilderness causes.

Midwest Mountaineering’s employees reviewed nine proposals and voted on what they felt were the top three, which includes the St. Croix River Association.

The St. Croix River Association’s mission is to protect, restore, and celebrate the St. Croix River and its watershed. Grant funds would be used to help stop the construction of a large scale hog farm within the St. Croix River watershed.

Please vote for one finalist by Friday, August 2nd, 2019.
