In the Twin Cities of Minnesota, The Trust for Public Land is building parks and greenways to connect business districts with urban neighborhoods and the growing suburbs beyond. TPL’s planning expertise helped to establish the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary near downtown St. Paul and is guiding the push for a new central park in downtown Minneapolis. In the wild and scenic Northwoods region, TPL is protecting access to the popular Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and conserving land as a buffer against development on the shores of such iconic lakes as Vermillion and Burntside.
