Building appreciation for the St. Croix River is one of my life goals. The river is not only a wonderful place to play, but also a fascinating ecosystem and a remarkably healthy large river.

Recognizing the river’s special qualities lets us know how to protect what we love.

That’s why I’m happy whenever St. Croix 360 influences other media. Whether we inspire other coverage or our stories are reprinted, it’s a valuable way to inspire stewardship.

SUPPORT ST. CROIX 360’S BROAD IMPACT

Over the years, several St. Croix 360 articles have resulted in a much broader reach. These stories have ranged from publicizing threats to the river to appreciating its amazing resources.

Here are a few examples:

Scandia gravel pit overflows, buries St. Croix Valley spring creek

Subsequent coverage:

Ice fisherman catches 120-pound sturgeon on the St. Croix

Subsequent coverage:

Factory farm runoff contaminates creek in St. Croix River watershed

Subsequent coverage:

We also make our stories available to other media organizations.

These outlets have republished our coverage of everything from oil pipelines to archaeology.
