Every Minnesotan deserves clean water to drink & protection from toxic chemicals. We must defend the laws, help legislators stand firm in upholding them, & protect our communities from toxic PFAS. These hard-won protections shouldn't be weakened. #mnleg bit.ly/4hadWSv

Did you know that household waste in the US increases by 25% between Thanksgiving and New Years? Thankfully new laws will make it easier for Minnesotans to reduce waste and recycle more. bit.ly/3P88OD3

Minnesotans may disagree about many things, but love for our Great Outdoors is a shared value we all believe in. And we vote that way. The lottery amendment passed yesterday with over 77% support. 🌲💧🦌

The #MNlottery funds over $80 million dollars a year to protect MN's Great Outdoors. Here's an awesome example of the impact these projects have.
We captured some really neat footage of lynx this past year on our cameras but this is definitely the coolest. In fact, might be the best video of a lynx we have ever captured, not least because the lynx decided sit right in front of the camera... Thanks to the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for their continued support of the project, which allows us to capture, document, and share neat footage of the wildlife in northern Minnesota!
