No matter where you live in the watershed, you play an important role in the health and conservation of the St. Croix River. Celebrate water and the St. Croix River watershed during Wisconsin Water Week by attending a special regional day on Thursday, March 11.

The opportunities and challenges facing the watershed around this wild and scenic river will be explored by a number of expert presenters from organizations including the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway and the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), as well as featured presenter Tia Nelson, conservationist and former managing director of the climate program at the Outrider Foundation.

Panels will include:

• “Leveraging Intentional Partnership to Navigate Turbulent Waters: The Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway and St. Croix River Association Partnership”
• “What to Expect When You’re Expecting a CAFO: The Perspective of a Small Town Faced with a Large Hog CAFO Wanting to Locate Within Its Borders”
• “Small Invader, Big Impact: Protecting the St. Croix River from EAB Doesn’t Stop in the Winter”
• “A Look at Conservation Practice Implementation in The St. Croix Watershed”
