Voyageurs Conservancy funds critical programs and projects at Voyageurs National Park. We work directly with the National Park Service to identify areas where private philanthropy, volunteerism, and partnerships will most benefit the park’s needs. Our supporters are passionate caretakers who ensure Voyageurs is a wild, welcoming national park for generations to come.

For Minnesota's Voyageurs National Park

Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota is a wide-open gateway to the great outdoors. The park is made up of more than 218,000 acres of untamed wild. Endless waterways mirror the sky. The crisp air is naturally scented with pine and birch. Howling wolves and calling loons awaken your senses. At night, a multitude of stars are so vast your eyes can’t seem to open wide enough to take them all in. That’s the magic of Voyageurs, and it’s the reason the Voyageurs Conservancy works tirelessly to protect it. 

Thank you!
