Careers at Wild Rivers Conservancy

Wild Rivers Conservancy, the official nonprofit partner of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway,  is soliciting proposals from qualified artists to develop artwork and designs for a Mobile Visitor Experience based on a Mercedes eSprinter van platform.

About the project - 

The St Croix and Namekagon Rivers flow through 255 miles of the most scenic and least developed country in the Upper Midwest, with towering bluffs, spring-fed tributaries, abundant wildlife, and a unique cultural history that draws more than one million visitors each year.

The St. Croix’s location near Minnesota’s Twin Cities makes it a uniquely accessible place for enjoying near wilderness experiences less than an hour’s drive from a major metropolitan area.

Unfortunately, while the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway is available for all to enjoy, it is spread across a large basin in two states, making it difficult to reach people with river education, trip planning support, Junior Ranger programs, and other services found in more traditional national parks. In fact, less than one percent of park visitors walk into the Riverway’s two small visitor centers in St. Croix Falls and Trego, Wisconsin.

Wild Rivers Conservancy, the Riverway’s official park partner, has a carefully-crafted plan to improve access with a Mobile Visitor Experience bringing exciting river-related education and opportunities to the people.
