MAPPING THE ST. CROIX VALLEY: BEYOND SUSTAINABILITY
The St. Croix Institute for Sustainable Community Development, established on campus in 2007, branched out across the river and state to become the St. Croix Institute in 2014. As a step toward a large goal of naming the region as a national heritage site, a myriad of campus and Institute efforts are recorded within a digital mapping project, “Mapping the St. Croix Valley: Beyond Sustainability.” A multimodal mapping of the lower St. Croix Valley’s quadruple bottom line approach to sustainability initiatives provides an interactive and accessible digital showcase for ways that science, nature, culture, economy and creativity intersect with community. The map tour highlights regional examples of sustainability within the intersection of social, economic, ecologic and community spheres. Color-coded keys on the map link to detailed information and imagery, while future initiatives placed on the map as vision markers, will promote discussion about campus and community priorities.
