Online registration is now closed. Call us at 651.647.9590 to register - there is still room for the breakfast program.
Treasured Places is our annual celebration for volunteers, landowners, members and friends—everyone who cares about permanent land conservation in Minnesota!
You’ll hear Executive Director Kris Larson discuss Minnesota Land Trust programming objectives in southeastern Minnesota. You’ll meet other staff who have been working with landowners in the state. Retired Minnesota DNR fisheries expert Larry Gates, who owns the land you will be visiting, will describe restoration plans that will improve the water quality of a stream with a naturally reproducing population of native brook trout, as well as habitat for other threatened species.

What if we could preserve the places we love forever?
Would you be surprised to know that the answer is “yes, we can”?

- Discover how land restoration will impact water quality, wildlife habitat and scenic views
