Coming Events

January 7 Noon  Jim Kroening, CEO of Family Means, is bringing our speaker. Deb Murphy is President, of Standing Cedars Community Land Conservancy and will discuss the mission and work of the organization.  Standing Cedars Community Land Conservancy is a nonprofit organization led by diverse groups of St. Croix Valley residents. They are rooted in the community, and committed to protecting land for the people, as well as the environment of the Lower St. Croix River Valley. They have protected more than 1,500 acres, including some of the highest quality natural areas along the St. Croix River. Standing Cedars uses various tools to protect land. Some is purchased outright while other properties are protected through conservation easements. Easements allow landowners to maintain ownership of their land but permanently limits current and future development. Jim Kroening is a member of the Board of Standing Cedars
