For 110 years, the St. Croix River Association has united members around the Riverway to protect, restore, and celebrate the St. Croix and Namekagon Rivers and the entire watershed. Join us for our outdoor Spring Gathering on Thursday, May 20 from 4:00-8:00 PM at the Franconia Sculpture Park to celebrate the vital work we have done together and look ahead to the future!

As one of the St. Croix River Valley’s most striking locations, the Franconia Sculpture Park inspires thousands of visitors each year with a dynamic and diverse range of contemporary art inspired by nature and our ever-evolving world. We encourage all attendees to wear casual dress and comfortable shoes to explore the 50-acre outdoor museum and savor a spring evening. Our program will feature a presentation from author Natalie Warren (Hudson Bay Bound: Two Women, One Dog, Two Thousand Miles to the Arctic, UMN Press).

You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy fun activities for the whole family:

• Find out what we’re working on across the watershed in the areas of environmental education, invasive species, forestry, water quality, and more
