The Riverway Volunteers program is co-managed by St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and Wild Rivers Conservancy, the park’s official non-profit partner.
This joint program was established in September 2022 by management members of each organization. Through this partnership, both organizations can grow and sustain a solid volunteer base, reach a wider audience, strengthen existing community partnerships and build new ones, become more resilient and adaptable as a program, and access shared resources to achieve their missions.
