We create resilient landscapes, address biodiversity loss, and sequester and <br />store carbon through community -based stewardship. <br />We bring people from all walks of life closer to the natural world around them. As a leader <br />in community -driven projects, we know working together creates a lasting dedication to <br />Minnesota's land and water. <br />Our work began in 1995 with a massive volunteer planting project on the Saint Paul <br />riverfront to "Green the Great River." Over 10,000 volunteers planted 35,000 trees along <br />the Mississippi riverfront, which sparked an even grander vision. We have since engaged <br />our communities in the restoration of approximately 40,000 acres at nearly 400 sites <br />throughout Minnesota. <br />Our vision for 2030 expands on our legacy of impact.
