Paddle the wild and scenic St. Croix River with the Conservancy’s Climate Resiliancy Specialist Alexis Monti and learn about the lives of the trees and how we can build a more resilient landscape in the face of climate change. We’ll even try our hand at identifying by sound the birds the trees of the riverway attract. This is peak season for migrating birds and color changes.

This is a fully supported paddle. You will be provided with kayaks, paddles, and PFDs, as well as a shuttle service back to your vehicle after the paddle.
