Minnesota Valley Trust

Minnesota Valley Trust assists in making Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge a premier urban refuge by expanding and improving opportunities for the public to connect with wildlife and nature.

The Minnesota Valley Trust was created in 2000 to mitigate impacts of the expanding Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport on the public’s use and enjoyment of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The Trust has built on its origins and continues to preserve the land, water and wildlife for this urban refuge.
