First Legacy Weekend in Winona July 23-24

Over a year and a half ago, Minnesota voters approved the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment and now it’s beginning to bear fruit.

The community of Winona is holding a first-of-its-kind Legacy Weekend featuring programs and events made possible by the Amendment. Some of the events are associated with conservation and environmental funding from the Amendment, some with arts and cultural heritage funding. A full schedule of events is at the link. Other communities are encouraged to plan Legacy Weekends.

St. Paul is also seeing results from the Amendment. Here’s a breakdown.

Keep up the pressure on our elected officials to protect our Great Outdoors!

Thank you for your continued support to protect Minnesota’s lakes, rivers, streams, prairies, forests, and our Great Outdoors. Your calls, letters, and emails to your legislators and the Governor helped us claim some victories this year!

Though the 2010 Minnesota legislative session produced mixed results for Minnesota’s clean energy and Great Outdoors future, our work does not stop here.

We need your help to pass strong environmental policies next year! We need to hold our elected officials accountable and make certain these issues are highlighted in the November Election.
