Cheers to 50 Years of
Voyageurs National Park
Voyageurs Conservancy is the official nonprofit partner of Voyageurs National Park.
Our work began in 1965, when a group of visionary citizens came together with the goal of protecting the lands and waters of the Rainy, Kabetogama, Namakan, and Sand Point Lakes region of northern Minnesota. Voyageurs National Park was established in 1975.
Today, your gift helps us carry on their legacy. In partnership with the National Park Service, Voyageurs Conservancy works to preserve the wild character and unique experience of Voyageurs by funding projects and programs that will sustain it for generations to come.

Honoring the Past,
Protecting the Future
This year we reflect on a half-century of parkhood and take in the present day wonders – from big lakes, to wild habitat and world-class dark skies. And we look 50 more years into the future, envisioning a park that is protected and accessible for many generations to come.
Fifty years ago, people like you made history by ensuring Voyageurs National Park would be protected forever. Now, it’s our turn to ensure the next 50 years are just as extraordinary.
Right now, every donation is matched dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000 in honor of the park’s 50th anniversary. Your support will help protect Minnesota’s national park for generations to come. Don’t miss this chance to make twice the difference—give today!
