Outreach Projects

The scope of the Institute is primarily within the St. Croix River Watershed, but the need to address sustainability goes beyond this area to embrace and serve on a global perspective. The outreach segment of the organization includes consultation services and educational initiatives that cover local, county, regional, state, national, and international needs. Organizational Chart
