 MISSION 

To engage citizens to strive together to improve the vitality of our communities and to improve the natural world of our communities. We do this by:

  • Increasing connections among citizens

  • increasing understanding of and access to existing natural amenities in the valley

  • Improving the quality of and stewardship of natural resources

  • Serving 5 communities: Lakeland, Lakeland Shores, Lake St. Croix Beach, St. Mary's Point, Afton

 HISTORY 

First chartered in 1994 as The Afton Foundation, the board later recognized the changing and growing needs of the broader area. In 2009, with its mission and service region now including 5 Lower St. Croix cities, the board chose to affiliate with St. Croix Valley Foundation in order to maintain greater proximity to constituents as well as region-wide resources.
