Know someone making a big difference?

From cleaning up local parks to growing pollinator-friendly gardens, Unsung Caretakers are everyday Minnesotans who step up to care for the places we all share. Their efforts often go unseen, but they’re helping Minnesota thrive.

Help us recognize the neighbors, students, farmers, artists, and organizers who embody what it means to care for our land, water, and communities.
