Minnesotans take great pride in our natural resources. As our population grows and demands on resources intensify, that pride remains steady — but our approach to conservation must evolve. Caring for the land, air and water that supports us and other living things is more urgent than ever, and we must be prepared to address the challenge.

The 2015-2025 Conservation Agenda sets the long-term strategic direction for natural resources and measures conservation results. The 2023 – 2027 Strategic Plan highlights near-term priorities and our alignment with the One Minnesota approach to state government as a whole.
