The Minnesota Land Trust is seeking willing private landowners who meet the criteria for the Protecting Minnesota’s Lakes of Outstanding Biological Significance Program to protect important wildlife habitat, including shoreline and water, with permanent conservation easements. The program is made possible through grants provided by the Minnesota Outdoor Heritage Fund to protect lakes of outstanding biological significance in northeast and north-central Minnesota.
Please complete and submit the request form below to get started. The information you provide will help the program manager identify if your property qualifies for this program. Note that requests will be prioritized by the Land Trust based on a competitive bid method which considers both the ecological value and the amount the landowner bids for compensation. Payment for a purchased conservation easement is made upon finalizing a conservation easement with the Minnesota Land Trust.
