The St. Croix Wetland Management District in west-central Wisconsin, United States, encompasses a diversity of habitats lying along the eastern edge of the tallgrass prairie. Within the eight-county district, one can travel north through the high river bluffs of Pepin County, to the prairie potholes of St. Croix County, and then to the pine barrens of Burnett County. The district includes Barron, Burnett, Dunn, Washburn, Pierce, Pepin, Polk and St. Croix counties. The central portion of St. Croix County, the heart of the district, is known as the Star Prairie Pothole Grasslands. These grasslands are ranked sixth out of 26 priority grassland landscapes in Wisconsin. The district manages relatively small tracts of prairie wetland and grassland habitats known as waterfowl production areas (WPAs). WPAs are purchased using Federal Duck Stamp dollars within the historic prairie pothole portion of the district, including southern Polk, St. Croix and Dunn counties. After purchase, prairie wetland and grassland habitats are restored and then managed for breeding waterfowl, other migratory birds and indigenous wildlife. The district's 41 WPAs totaling 7,500 acres (30 km2) are administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wildlife Refuge System. In addition to managing WPAs, district staff provide assistance to private landowners who wish to manage their land to benefit wildlife. The St. Croix Wetland Management District is adjacent to the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metropolitan Area of two million people. This presents unique opportunities and challenges for prairie wetland habitat preservation, restoration and management.

First English Lutheran Church (St. Thomas Episcopal Church) is a historic church at 354 Third St., North in New Richmond, Wisconsin, United States. It was built in 1906 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.Around 1892, Pastor J.T. Kjollgren organized a Lutheran congregation among the Swedish settlers on the north side of New Richmond. Many of them worked in lumber mills on the north side of the Willow River - especially the Willow River Lumber Company. The congregation was probably called First English Lutheran because it held some worship in the English language. They initially held services in the Norwegian Lutheran Church on North Third Street, renting the space at one dollar per service.In 1906 the congregation decided to build their own church. They arranged a benefit to raise money for this project, with the Arpi Quartette from Gustavus Adolphus College performing at Hagan's Opera House. Tickets cost from 25¢ for children to 50¢ for reserved seats. Construction began that same year. The first service in the new building was held January 5, 1907 in the basement, because the roof wasn't yet finished.The general form of the building is a typical small church, with a tower and steeple centered above the front door. The raised foundation is rusticated concrete block. The walls are also cream-colored concrete block, supplied by the B&W Concrete Stone Company of New Richmond. The windows and door are topped with lancet arches, typical of Gothic Revival style. The front tower is square, with the bottom built of block. On that sits a wooden section of the tower which once held a bell. On top of that is an octagonal spire topped with a cross. Inside, the church has been remodeled into an Anglican style.In 1945 the congregation changed their name to First Lutheran Church, without the English, and merged with Norwegian Lutheran Church. The following year St. Thomas Episcopal bought the old First English Lutheran building for $3,300 and has called it home since. St. Thomas has roots in New Richmond going back to around 1867. They had a church building which was destroyed by the 1899 tornado. After that they worshiped in members' homes for almost fifty years before buying the Lutheran church in 1946.The NRHP nomination considers the building significant as a remnant of the Scandinavian community on the north side of New Richmond. It is also the only old church in New Richmond still used as a church.
