We Are Standing Cedars
A Community Land Conservancy Organization
We are rooted in the community and committed to protecting the land for the people and the environment of the Lower St. Croix River Valley. Generations have cherished the Lower St. Croix landscape. As urban centers grow, land along the St. Croix is at risk for development that could destroy precious habitat and change the character of the land forever.
We have protected over 1700 acres and we provide free public access to over 1500 acres for hiking, birding, snowshoeing, xc skiing, and hunting by permit.
