Fund-a-Need
All Fund-A-Need proceeds will benefit our kick-off year for our vision for 2030: healthy, climate change resilient ecosystems throughout Minnesota. Efforts this year include initiating our Cool Saint Paul tree canopy project, expanding our footprint in urban communities in the metro and outstate, and growing our team of experts in order to implement the hands-on projects we are being asked to support throughout Minnesota. These nature-based solutions will restore, adapt, and sustainably manage ecosystems to address climate change, providing benefits to both people and the environment. We must act now to preserve Minnesota’s natural systems and habitats.
