We are grateful and excited for the community partnership with Landmark Conservancy and all of those that donated to make public protection of Pine Coulee a reality!

We’re working with landowners in the Driftless Area to conserve strongholds for diversity and add critical protections for our rivers and streams. This past year, our community came together and raised funds to permanently protect the Pine Coulee, a local gem located at the confluence of the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers!

Join us in continuing to conserve the scenic landscapes and critical habitat northwest Wisconsin is known for, and help protect this natural legacy for everyone, forever!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! We are thankful today for our amazing Prescott Community! Today was also the annual Polar plunge to raise money for a local benefit (Prescott K9 Foundation)....and it was cold!! We applaud all of you that came out, donated, and jumped in!

A quick trip down the road on the Minnesota Side of the river this morning. I found the most serene fall environment, following MN-74 from Weaver, MN and exploring the Whitewater State Wildlife Refuge and Whitewater State Park.

Tony Cuchetti was amazing tonight at Freedom Park's Music in the Park series! Thank you to Tony and all of those that came out!

Great River Road Visitor and Learning Center - Freedom Park, wishes you all THE BEST for 2024!
