What is a Land Trust & What do They Do?
Land Trusts are non-profit organizations that protect wildlife habitat, lakes and rivers, and other natural landscapes to benefit people and the environment. By partnering with landowners, government agencies, and communities, land trusts play a vital role in promoting sustainable land use and preserving the beauty and health of our environment.

Northern Waters Land Trust
Preserving land to protect water in north central Minnesota, a region with thousands of pristine, deep cold water lakes and healthy rivers and streams.
As a 501(c)3 non-profit accredited land trust, Northern Waters Land Trust is working to protect water quality and preserve environmentally sensitive lands and wildlife habitat. Watch this video to learn more about our conservation work.
Why Conservation Matters
Protecting the lakes, rivers, and forests in northern Minnesota supports the local economy and culture. This region is home to the headwaters of the Mississippi River. Land protection throughout the watershed helps ensure quality drinking water for communities downstream.
What We Do
Northern Waters Land Trust’s watershed approach to conservation focuses on the ‘big picture’ preserving land around lakes and rivers to protect water quality and wildlife habitat. This region's economy is dependent on healthy natural resources for outdoor recreation and tourism. Conservation here helps ensure drinking water for communities outside the region that depend on the Mississippi River for their drinking water.
