Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge

Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge is a 34-mile wildlife corridor cutting through the Twin Cities metro—proof that wild spaces belong everywhere, not just in remote corners. This refuge protects critical Mississippi River floodplain habitat where over 300 bird species migrate, nest, and thrive against an urban backdrop. It’s where bald eagles soar above highways and kids discover nature without leaving the city. Rep a refuge that shows conservation works hardest where people and wildlife meet.
