Trust for Public Land in Minnesota

---

Trust for Public Land creates parks and protects land for people, ensuring healthy, livable communities for generations to come.

We’re Leading a Movement of Americans United for the Outdoors.  We were founded in 1972 on the conviction that all people need access to nature and the outdoors, close to home, in the cities and communities where they live. We work with communities to create parks and protect public land where they’re needed most, as a matter of health, equity, and justice.

Spending time outdoors improves people’s health, nurtures their joy, and strengthens their connection to nature and one another. That’s why we’re on a mission to create and protect places that bring us outside—parks, trails, playgrounds, and public lands—and make them available to everyone, everywhere.

Our Work in Minnesota

Trust for Public Land works hand-in-hand with communities across five Minnesota programs, allowing us to focus our work in areas where parks and public Lands are needed most. Your donation to TPL-Minnesota's general operating fund will: 

• Protect our rivers and watersheds—preserving clean drinking water, restoring critical habitat, and ensuring everyone has safe, welcoming access to our beloved waterways as part of our Minnesota Rivers program.
• Contribute to our ability to be nimble and act quickly to secure and protect high-priority lands in our Minnesota and Northwoods Land Protection program.
• Transform barren public schoolyards into vibrant green spaces for inspired learning, play, recreation, and outside-of-school-hours access in our Community Schoolyards work.
• Help us create neighborhood parks that strengthen communities, improve health, and provide nature-based climate solutions as part of our Community Powered Parks program.
• Support state and local governments to design, pass, and implement legislation and ballot measures that unlock new public funds for parks and land conservation in our Conservation Finance initiatives.
