Minnesota Lakes and Rivers Protection and Education is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to safeguarding Minnesota’s lakes, rivers, and watersheds for current and future generations. Through science-based programs, public education, and community advocacy, we empower Minnesotans to protect the cultural and ecological vitality of our waters. 56% of our waters are impaired, so we need a united base of advocates!
Your support empowers us to continue this crucial work, tackle emerging issues, and sustain local conservation efforts that build civic pride and deepen our connection to our waters. Minnesota Lakes and Rivers supports science, education, and advocacy to protect and preserve natural waters in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
Science
We believe that scientific research is the bedrock of protection for our lakes and rivers. Your contribution supports independent research on topics like recreational boating, aquatic invasive species, and shoreline degradation, so we can learn the problems of today to identify tomorrow's solutions.
Education
We educate lake-home and cabin owners, youth, and lake users on pressing issues and solution strategies to create a more informed and active base of lake and river stewards. Your contribution helps us provide guidance and public awareness as well as train volunteers and leaders to give communities the tools and knowledge to restore shorelines, tackle invasive species, and address water quality issues.
Advocacy
With an informed and activated base of lake advocates across the state, anything is possible for our waters. Your contribution helps us unite all stakeholders — local communities, state agencies, businesses, Tribal governments, and more — to find just solutions. Because these solutions are community-driven and formed on consensus, our programs create lasting environmental change.
