North Dakota

The Conservancy has helped protect North Dakota's public lands and natural areas.

The Nature Conservancy has played an important role securing public lands that provide recreational opportunities as well as protect North Dakota's key natural areas.

The sites described below represent only a fraction of our projects in the state. Over a quarter century, the Conservancy has helped conserve more than 25,000 acres in North Dakota.

These are sites where the public is encouraged to visit. We hope you're inspired to explore them and to become a Nature Conservancy member.

Together, we can help conserve the state's best lands and waters.

After all, this land is YOUR land.
