The Minnesota Land Trust preserves Minnesota's natural and scenic heritage through public and private partnerships.

Working with landowners, communities and conservation partners, we permanently preserve land and water resources, we educate and advocate for the preservation of Minnesota's unique environmental systems, we connect people with the benefits of Minnesota's natural heritage and we are leading the conservation movement forward.

As of June 14 we've permanently protected 36,373 acres and 734,012 feet of shoreline in 398 projects around Minnesota.
