Preserving the Saint Croix is Up to You!
Did you know that one of Minnesota's premier conservation organizations is hard at work right in your community? The Belwin Conservancy is member-supported nonprofit based in Afton, Minnesota and is working to protect the Saint Croix Valley and preserve the Saint Croix River for our future generations. We currently protect over 1,300 acres of land and have restored 500 acres of that to native prairie. Our work is multi-faceted and includes the largest oak savanna restoration project in Minnesota, using bison to restore native prairie and educating our children about the natural world.
Just last year, your fellow Minnesotans acted to preserve our state's natural heritage by voting Yes! on the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment. It is now up to you to build on that effort. With your help, the Belwin Conservancy can use our four decades of experience working in Washington County to protect and restore even more.
Please support the Belwin Conservancy as we work to improve our community. Your support will help the Belwin Conservancy and be a part of our work now and for the future. We need your support!
