Heritage“Our precious heritage of natural and unspoiled beauty and unpolluted streams, once exhausted and destroyed, can never be replaced . . . We have a golden opportunity to save the few remaining scenic and wild rivers as part of our nation’s heritage for this and coming generations.” -Alvin O’Konski, Congressman from Wisconsin (regarding the St. Croix River)

Maps“Leave it as it is . . . The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it.” -Theodore Roosevelt

Partner Projects“The river moves from land to water to land, in and out of organisms, reminding us what native peoples have never forgotten: that you cannot separate the land from the water, or the people from the land.” -Lynn Noel, Voyages: Canada’s Heritage Rivers
