Our independent research complements the work of our public partners. We strive to be an independent, honest, and forthright voice for parks and trails at the state Capitol where critical decisions are made.
Here is a compilation of the research we have undertaken in recent years. Much of this work is the result of the valued partnership we have with the Minnesota DNR, which manages State Parks and Trails. We work to share our research with decision-makers so that our state moves forward with the best available data.
