TNC protects 12,000+ acres of Minnesota’s Northwoods
The purchase is TNC’s largest land acquisition in Minnesota in 25 years and permanently protects rare wetlands, connected forests and wildlife habitat.
There’s just this one planet of ours, and it’s on all of us to ensure a future with a livable climate, healthy communities and thriving nature.
At The Nature Conservancy in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, we’re working toward this future by protecting and restoring grasslands, safeguarding fresh water and creating climate-resilient forests. By putting our heads, hands and hearts together, we’re taking action to preserve and protect the natural world for generations to come.
Our planet is facing two existential crises: rapid climate change and the loss of biodiversity. We have years, not decades, to address these threats. Our nonpartisan, science-based approach and collaboration with local partners will help us realize a future where people and nature thrive.
The stakes for our future have never been higher. But neither has our ambition.
Together, we find a way.
We can’t save nature without you!
Help us create a future where people and nature thrive.
