Belwin Conservancy

Before the end of 2011, we need your help to Protect the Trout of Valley Creek!

The Belwin Conservancy and our members are working to preserve the St. Croix River through land conservation, scientifically-based ecological restoration, and by building connections between people and the natural world. Our nearly 1,400 acre preserve includes oak savanna and woodlands, tallgrass prairie, wetlands and fens. It is home to numerous rare and threatened plants and animals and is a place that thousands visit every year.

Since 1971, Belwin Outdoor Science has been welcoming students of the Saint Paul Public Schools to our preserve. Over 10,000 students visit Belwin every year. For many, their time here is their first real exposure to nature and informs a lifetime of choices.

The Belwin Conservancy also maintains a network of public walking and hiking trails so that anyone can take advantage of the peace and tranquility of this special place. During the summer months, the public is also encouraged to visit our bison observation platform and take in a panoramic view of a 150 acre restored prairie and the herd of bison that call the prairie home.

The Belwin Conservancy is a nonprofit organization. We need your help to continue our work protecting the landscape and wildlife of this area. Please become a member today and help us inspire our connection to the natural world.
