You can make a difference on your land for future generations. All lands matter, big and small.
Since 2012, Wild Rivers Conservancy has worked with partners throughout the watershed, linking forestry to water quality. Forests act as natural filters for water running off the land, and are essentially our best defense against water quality degradation.
Preserving your legacy through permanent land protection
Over 70% of land in Minnesota is privately owned which gives individual landowners the opportunity to make a huge impact on the environment around them. Whether it be for preserving the family legacy or protecting crucial habitat for wildlife, permanent land protection is an option for you.

What we do
In 2019, Wild Rivers Conservancy entered into a partnership with the Minnesota Land Trust and The Trust for Public Land to help landowners permanently protect their land. Since then, we’ve received millions of dollars in funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund to connect with landowners and enroll qualified properties in conservation easement and fee-title acquisition programs.
Making an impact for the lands we love
Over the years, the partnership has grown and we now have over 4,950 acres and 15+ landowners enrolled in the St. Croix Watershed Protection Program. See the map below of where those properties are and learn about two of these protected properties.
We are here to help
If you own 40 acres or more within the Minnesota side of the St. Croix watershed you may qualify for our programs
