Prescott & the St. Croix-Mississippi River Confluence
Prescott occupies one of Wisconsin’s most dramatic geographic locations — the confluence of the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers, where dramatic bluffs overlook two of the nation’s great rivers. The bluff forests and river corridors surrounding Prescott require specialized land clearing to manage invasive species without compromising the natural landscape.
Aspen Land Management serves Prescott-area landowners with forestry mulching ideal for bluff terrain and riparian environments. We protect both rivers’ watershed integrity while clearing invasive species and overgrown vegetation.
