Preserving Minnesota's most precious land and water resources. From the source.
MN Headwaters aims to develop a return on investment case for green infrastructure investment in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. Conservation of land through the Minnesota Headwaters Fund, managed by The Nature Conservancy and with additional participation of local water utilities, could serve to improve downstream water quality and decrease treatment costs for drinking water.
Developing a comprehensive return on investment case for green infrastructure investment in the Upper Mississippi River Basin requires a multidisciplinary approach. Read more about our project here.
