The Minnesota Land Trust is a member of The Minnesota Environmental Partnership, a coalition of 70 Minnesota environmental and conservation organizations working together to protect and preserve Minnesota's precious natural environment. Together, the Partnership's member organizations are supported by more than 400,000 Minnesotans. The Partnership provides a way for environmental organizations to collaborate in their efforts to make sure that Minnesota's natural resources are well cared for.

Incorporated in 1998 as a tax exempt organization, The Partnership’s mission is to strengthen the effectiveness of the Minnesota environmental community in protecting and enhancing the state’s natural resources. It counts among its members the state's leading environmental and conservation organizations whose leaders understand the power and productivity that comes from joining forces and working together toward a common vision.

MEP strives to enhance the ability of participating organizations to fulfill their individual missions and better realize the expectations of a supportive public by providing a forum for:

• Information sharing and education among participating organizations;
• Coordination of efforts, strategies and legislative issues;
• Coordination and sharing of media strategies;
• Discussion of a forward looking, affirmative agenda for Minnesota's environment and natural resources.

MEP also invites individual citizens to learn more about these efforts. Citizens are encouraged to participate in MEP-sponsored activities in their communities to ensure that they have an ample supply of pure water, clean air, and open space.
