Advocacy

Minnesota is more than the land of 10,000 lakes. Winding rivers, creeks and streams, prairie wetlands, and unique bog environments all contribute to amazing water resources within and along the states borders. Depending on where a drop of rain falls it may start a journey across one of three continental watersheds. These tremendous water resources come with great responsibility.

Clean water is a primary advocacy goal of MWF as it touches all other areas of our work.

MWF works to ensure that access to public lands and waters remains open to all while providing pathways to participation to outdoor recreation for underserved communities. When Minnesotans find their place in the outdoors they become conservation stakeholders and are better able to advocate on behalf of our shared natural resources.

There is enough room outside for all Minnesotans.

MWF stays focused on issues related to the natural resources of the state. At times this resource advocacy may take place at the State Capitol, in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, in coalition with conservation organizations, and with individual Minnesotans who are willing to stand up for conservation.

The health of the states wildlife, people, and landscapes are of utmost importance to MWF as we continue our legacy of resource advocacy.
