Paynesville, Minnesota's

Crow River Trail Guards

These are some of the projects we have completed over the years at the Crow River Nature Park in Paynesville, Minnesota. These projects were done by volunteers, including many area youth, and were funded by private donations, local service organization contributions, and self-raised revenue from the Trail Guards. NO tax-source money was used from any level of government. We have since accepted one tax-source grant for river stewardship education, and river maintenance projects.
