St. Louis River Summit
Resilient Ecosystems, Resilient Communities
Given the challenges we’ve faced at every scale over last year, this year’s St. Louis River Summit theme, “Resilient Ecosystems, Resilient Communities,” is meant to highlight the many ways the St. Louis River Estuary contributes to community well-being in the Twin Ports and beyond.
Join us to celebrate the power of the Estuary as we review our successes and look toward the future in this 11th year of the Summit.

Due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak and guidelines from Wisconsin Department of Health Services, UW–Madison, and federal agencies the Estuarium is closed and our facilities will have limited availability and access. Our staff are working remotely and many of our events have been postponed. For the latest information on COVID-19, visit the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
