The Nature Conservancy in Minnesota

The Nature Conservancy has worked to conserve Minnesota’s most significant prairies, forests, lakes, rivers, streams and wetlands since 1958.

Our climate future depends on more trees, cleaner water and healthier soils.

Nature has a unique ability to bring people together. TNC has decades of experience working with leaders at all levels of government, so we stand ready to work with the Trump administration on creating policies to ensure a cleaner, healthier future. https://t.co/1azPzXOPMn

Minnesota is the first state in the nation to protect native rough fish!

This includes fish that are native but were long mistreated. Now, anglers can catch and keep native rough fish under new legal limits with penalties to protect their populations.

🌲10 MILLION TREES PLANTED🌲

We’re celebrating a huge milestone for nature in Minnesota. Learn more about our work to build resilience in our forests at https://t.co/BWjwR0tEae

We are THRILLED to share that our crews planted 2.3 MILLION trees in northern Minnesota in 2024! Each of these trees has the potential to store carbon, provide habitat for birds and other wildlife and help keep water clean for all for decades to come!

Thanks to @SenAmyKlobuchar & @SenTinaSmith for helping to shape a 2024 Water Resources Development Act that reflects the needs of MN. This legislation will support work in the Upper Mississippi River and enable partners to collaboratively address water management challenges.

Today, Congress introduced the 2024 Water Resources Development Act. This essential piece of legislation allows the federal government to study, conserve and responsibly develop waterways. https://t.co/XCMNTIXQwk

Big news! With bipartisan support in the House and Senate, the Legacy bill is on its way to @GovTimWalz's desk! This legislation will deliver $218M from the Outdoor Heritage Fund and Clean Water Fund to protect and restore Minnesota's land and water. #mnleg

The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act would be the largest U.S. investment in wildlife conservation in decades. Thanks to @SenAmyKlobuchar for cosponsoring this legislation, which will drive more than $20 million for conservation in MN every year. #RAWA

Great news! The Minnesota Legislature approved $79 million from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, which will support projects around the state to conserve our land, water and wildlife. The bill now heads to @GovTimWalz's desk! #mnleg

How can we ensure our forests continue to thrive as the planet warms? Through “assisted migration,” we intentionally plant trees that normally wouldn’t distribute themselves this far north to help the forest adapt to climate change.

Through rivers, lakes, wetlands and springs beneath our feet, water connects every living thing on the planet.

Take a 2-minute water break and explore the element that connects everyone and everything.

Emerald ash borer has killed tens of millions of ash trees so far. A few “lingering” ash trees could potentially hold the keys to resilient forests. And you can help.

Peatlands are a kind of wetland that stores a ton of carbon. They operate like a “bank account” for the planet amid climate change, which is why it is essential that we protect them.

Minnesotans have a tremendous responsibility to respect and care for nature, which cares for us. That’s why we’re using our outside voices to speak up.
