St. Louis River Alliance

The St. Louis River Alliance (SLRA) is a local, grass-roots non-profit committed to restoring, protecting and enhancing the environmental health and economic value of the river.

SLRA was born out of the effort and dedication of Twin Ports citizens. Since its inception, the St. Louis River Alliance has been driven by community interest and involvement. We need you in order to make our work possible. If you can not give financially but are interested in helping protect, restore, and enhance the St. Louis River, email Outreach@StLouisRiver.org for volunteer opportunities.

About the St. Louis River Alliance:

In 1996, SLRA was formed to assist Minnesota & Wisconsin’s state agencies in the development of the Remedial Action Plan to clean up the St. Louis River Area of Concern after years of degradation by unregulated pollution.

The SLRA is a member-based organization that brings together a wide range of individuals, businesses, organizations, along with local and tribal governments who rely on the St. Louis River as a vital part of their lives and communities. 

After decades of work, the benefits of a cleaner river are now being realized, and we are moving into an era of re-connection and celebration! The entire river community is becoming a thriving, exciting place to work and live, and the SLRA has played an important role in this transformation. 

Some of Our Current Work:

The SLRA builds connections between community members and the St. Louis River through education, outreach, programs, projects and events.
