Wisconsin’s rivers are vulnerable to invasion by a number of alien species from Eurasian milfoil to Japanese knotweed. The key to successfully protecting your river is detecting invasive species early when it is still possible to isolate or eradicate the infestation. The longer we wait to find and fight them, the more time and money it will take.
This is where you come in. Volunteers are invaluable for early detection. SCRA will be co-hosting two Project RED trainings with the Polk County Land and Water Department and the River Alliance of Wisconsin. Project RED (Riverine Early Detectors) training provides citizen volunteers with the necessary tools to be a Riverine Early Detector. The protocols are easy and fun.

Many in Scandia and others who love the St. Croix River sighed with relief in January when the Scandia Planning Commission recommended denying a permit to reopen the Zavoral gravel mine on a bluff overlooking the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway.
The commission came to this decision after its own careful analysis and vocal opposition from the overwhelming majority of Scandia citizens, joined by organizations including the St. Croix River Association.
Unfortunately, earlier this week the project was approved by the City Council. We are outraged, even though the approval was tempered some by conditions we fought for, such as limiting the duration of mining and requiring an in-dependent review of Tiller Corp.’s site reclamation.
