Community Engagement

The Voyageurs Conservancy works to increase awareness of Voyageurs National Park. Our vision is that Voyageurs is a celebrated National Park locally and nationally, enjoyed and supported by a large and diverse community, leaving its wild character unimpaired for future generations.

Volunteer Work

Those who love Voyageurs know how important it is to give back. The Conservancy engages volunteers through individual placement and group events. From trail clearing, outreach events, educational program delivery, committee service, and more, the Conservancy hopes to offer an unparalleled opportunity to connect with the park and its community through service.

Special Speakers

The Voyageurs Conservancy hosts special speakers to share their expertise with the community. Our presentations connect attendees to the park through a diverse array of disciplines. Previous topics include the Voyageurs Wolf Project, Dark Sky Preservation, Wetland Restoration, Beaver Behavior, and more!

Outreach Events

The Voyageurs Conservancy inspires community engagement, and connects new visitors to Voyageurs. The Conservancy has hosted and supported special events at REI, Midwest Mountaineering, Surly and other local breweries, the Minnesota Twins’ Target Field, Canoecopia in Madison, WI, and the Minnesota State Fair. We hope to meet you at a future event!

Media and Tourism Relations

The Voyageurs Conservancy is building a strong bridge between the park through media and tourism outlets such as Explore Minnesota, More Than Just Parks, and Conde Naste Traveler. We recently assisted with media stories by the Star Tribune, Kare 11, and BBC Travel.

LoveYourPark Initiative

Love Your Park engages families and people of all ages, abilities, and skill levels to recreate and connect to the park. Programming is community-based and include guided hikes and winter snowshoe hikes, volunteer work days, “how to” workshops, and special speakers and performances. Through this effort, we hope to instill a strong conservation ethic

Voyageurs Artwork Series

The Voyageurs Conservancy commissioned renowned landmark artist Mark Herman to create a special Voyageurs art print series. We believe artwork connects individuals to the park’s unparalleled landscape. Do you have photos, videos, or artwork of the park you’d like to share? We’d love to hear from you at info@voyageurs.org
