Pop-Up Art + Nature projects were developed in partnership with Belwin Conservancy, Afton, Minn., to engage and connect communities with the natural world.

Books & Benches is a project of the Somerset Elementary Family Book Drive in partnership with The Phipps, local libraries, and the National Park Service to sustain summer reading and expose young readers to community art in the St. Croix River Valley. This program received funding from St. Croix Master Watershed Stewards/Tropical Wings in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act.
