Likely Stories
a photographic journey thru climate adaptations in the St. Croix Watershed

In the spring of 2024 five photographers came together to begin a year long project documenting climate adaptations in the St. Croix Watershed by the watershed itself & individuals, landowners, agencies, scientists, businesses and nonprofits. 

We're photographing and videotaping the challenges and successes battling the changes we face there. 

Please join us often to assist climate change by viewing our journey's progress with the link below.

And thanks for supporting us!
