The Nature Conservancy secures a 12,000-acre land acquisition

The Nature Conservancy has purchased more than 12,000 acres of dense forest and wetland north of Two Harbors, MN. This property includes parts of the Rainy River, which flows north into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, and the St. Louis River, which flows east into Lake Superior. It also lies within the Greater Lakes Northwoods region, which spans 60 million acres across three states. Conservation efforts will focus on sustainable management that supports the health of forests, wildlife, and clean water. The acquisition is the Nature Conservancy’s largest land purchase in 25 years.
