Make a Difference in Minnesota
The Nature Conservancy is bringing a spirit of innovation to preserving life on Earth. In Minnesota, we’re working with diverse partners to protect our waters, forests and grasslands; build sustainable food and water systems; and tackle climate change. We're also working and organizing with local communities to leverage nature as a tool to build a brighter future for all Minnesotans.
Trees. Water. Soil.
Minnesota can lead on climate change. And we can do it with technology that already exists and can be deployed now: nature.
