Protect Minnesota's Lands, Waters, and Wildlife

Your gift today protects the places and species that define Minnesota.

From towering forests and winding rivers to prairies alive with pollinators, Minnesota’s natural lands are under threat as never before. 

Development, climate change, and rollbacks to federal protections are placing immense pressure on our state’s vital habitats—and the wildlife that depend on them.  

• The rusty patched bumblebee, once common across the Midwest, has declined by nearly 90% in just two decades.
• More than 1 million acres of ash-dominated forest are at risk from the emerald ash borer.
• Rising levels of chloride and phosphorus threaten a quarter of Minnesota’s lakes.
• And iconic species like loons, wolves, and moose face habitat loss and fragmentation at unprecedented scales.

Without immediate action, we risk losing the very essence of Minnesota's natural identity. 

But there is hope because of people like you.

We're already witnessing nature's remarkable resilience when given a little help from Minnesotans like you. Prairies burst into life, forests regenerate, and imperiled species begin to thrive. 

Your donation today is a powerful catalyst. For just $200, you can protect an entire acre of critical habitat forever.
