About the Event

Great things happen when organizations work together, but strong partnerships don’t happen by accident. 

In this Lunch & Learn, Wendy Tremblay, community engagement manager for the Wild Rivers Conservancy of the St. Croix & Namekagon, will share insights from working at a collaboration-focused organization where partnerships make everything possible.

Wendy will highlight the Conservancy’s collaboration with the National Park Service and a wide network of community partners to illustrate how thoughtful partnerships expand the reach and impact of environmental education and nonprofit work. Participants will explore the benefits and challenges of partnerships and leave with practical tools for being a thoughtful, effective partner in their own work.

Wendy grew up in Stillwater, Minnesota and attended University of Wisconsin-River Falls for her B.S. in Elementary Education. Before starting as the Community Engagement Coordinator with the Wild Rivers Conservancy in May of 2021, Wendy worked in the environmental education field for over 12 years as a naturalist, teacher, and program coordinator. When not at work, you can find Wendy in her backyard native garden, on a hiking trail, or exploring the beauty of the St. Croix Valley with her two sons often by her side. Wendy is looking forward to helping guide our outdoor and education programs, supporting interns, and growing our volunteer community.
