As it works to develop a long-range management plan for the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway in Wisconsin and Minnesota, the National Park Service has scheduled a number of listening sessions to collect public's thoughts. 

The comprehensive river management plan, once complete, will guide Park Service actions and decisions of the St. Croix and Namekagon rivers for the foreseeable future. Input and engagement from stakeholder, partners, and the public will help develop and build this plan.

To kick-off the multi-year planning process, the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway will hold five listening sessions in locations throughout the park. At each session, park staff will present a short presentation about the river management plan and the planning process. After the presentation, St. Croix staff will be at designated stations to foster conversation, gather feedback, and answer questions. The presentation will be the same at each session and will also be available on the park’s Planning, Environment and Public Comment site on July 20.

Listening sessions will be held:

  • Thursday, July 20

    • Minong Town Hall at W7095 Nancy Lake Road, Minong, Wisconsin, 54859 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., presentation starts at 2:15 pm.
