Minnesota Weather Center
Sunny or stormy? Whether you hunt, fish, swim, backpack, or simply go for a walk in the outdoors, you want to know. And there’s no more authoritative voice than Paul Douglas, Minnesota’s weather man. Paul and his WeatherNation team provide the Minnesota weather, a blog and much more to help you plan and enjoy Minnesota’s great outdoors. See for yourself at MNWeatherCenter.org.
Check My Lake
Every Minnesotan has at least one favorite lake. But 40% of tested Minnesota lakes don’t meet Clean Water Act standards. Is it safe to swim in your lake or to eat the fish you catch? It’s easy to find out at CheckMyLake.org.
The Amendment
In November 2008, more than 1.6 million Minnesotans cast votes for a constitutional amendment putting more than $250 million into conservation each year for the next 25 years. Now we need to make sure that state officials keep the promise! We created TheAmendment.org in order to provide Minnesotans with the latest news and original commentary on the amendment – and to make sure it’s making a difference for clean water, parks and trails and habitat!
Conservation Minnesota Magazine
We publish the Conservation Minnesota Magazine quarterly. Our magazine is designed to empower you to talk about Minnesota’s Great Outdoors and what it means to you and your family.
