Welcome >>

We’re pleased to announce a new Legacy Fund for Voyageurs National Park.

This fund protects Voyageurs National Park from new development by buying private properties inside the boundaries of the Park from willing sellers so they can be added to the Park’s public lands. County regulations, not National Park Service policies, determine what can be built on the 52 private properties inside the Park’s boundaries. Each time these properties change hands, there is risk of new development inconsistent with the Park’s natural character, such as docks and private cabins. Purchasing these properties from willing sellers and adding them to the Park also increases public access to the Park’s lakeshores and islands.

The Wallace C. Dayton Voyageurs National Park Legacy Fund is named for Wallace Dayton, one of Minnesota’s leading conservationists, for his contributions to the establishment and protection of Voyageurs National Park.

For more information or to donate to the fund, please contact us at (612) 333-5424 or vnpa@voyageurs.org. If you’d like to make an online donation, you can use the “Donate Now” button (please be sure to write in the fund on the online form).

Thank you for helping VNPA protect Voyageurs National Park!
