We often take the land for granted. While the rivers and lakes refresh us and sometimes fill us with awe, the land is just the place where we live. Carve it up for roads, for housing, for shopping malls—that’s what it is there for. At Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy, the land is a treasure to be used but not squandered.
So, we work for better transit options and land use regulations to reign in sprawl. We argue for protecting our forests, prairies and other natural areas and the threatened plants and animals that live there. We fight for safe, modern mining that won’t destroy our rivers, lakes and forests.
