Conservation Minnesota works with you to protect our lands, lakes and way of life.  With dependable information and effective tools, we make it easy for Minnesotans to help their elected leaders make responsible decisions and make a difference that will last for generations. We are helping Minnesotans turn their conservation values into state priorities.

In Minnesota, our natural resources are important to almost every aspect of our lives.  From the outdoor traditions we enjoy, to the water we drink and the jobs that come from tourism and recreation, stewardship of our natural resources is critical to our economy, health, and way of life. Conservation Minnesota is a resource for every Minnesotan interested in a prosperous future, healthy communities and preserving our natural heritage.

Building Partnerships
It’s simple.  We get more done when we work together.  That’s why bringing people together toward a common goal is such a big part of our work.  At Conservation Minnesota we work with people from every political party, different business sectors, local governments, and all types of conservation organizations. To these partnerships we bring a drive toward cooperation and the experience to identify successful strategies.  The partners may change but our goal is always the same; make sure Minnesotans have a healthy environment, a vibrant economy, and the opportunity to pass our outdoor traditions on to our children.
