This summer, Wild Rivers Conservancy aims to connect communities that use the St. Croix and Namekagon Rivers with local traditions, stories, and art to promote equitable use of our beloved natural resource. Through multiple community events and programs across the rivers, we hope to foster a deeper connection and appreciation. Follow along as we journey from the Upper Namekagon all the way down to Afton, Minnesota, learning more about the river and gaining knowledge from those around us.
Afton State Park, where we will use journaling to envision what the river should look like and how we can recreate without harming its inhabitants. Be ready to share thoughts on how to and why we need to protect the river from the effects of climate change. This event will include a short hike at multiple locations throughout the park in order to inspire participants to share their ideas around the campfire at the end of the event.
A Minnesota state park pass is required for admission to the park. They can be purchased onsite or online at https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/permit.html
