Our mission is to inspire, engage and lead local communities in conserving and caring for the water and land that enrich our lives.
Our Values:
Science-Led: We lead with a scientific approach, grounded in data-driven best practices and the expertise of our trained ecologists.
Community-Focused: We commit to a collaborative, community-focused approach, one rooted in mutual, mission-based goals. We bring people together to steward Minnesota’s land and water.
Collaborative: We build strong, community-based partnerships, from our staff and Board of Directors to volunteer groups, donors, municipalities, vendors, schools, and the State of Minnesota. Minnesota’s land and water are shared natural systems, and we rely on the support of individuals and groups to protect them.
Education: We educate communities of all ages through a hands-on approach to create passionate, informed environmental stewards.
