Minnesota’s land and waters are the lifeblood of our communities. They nurture the people, Indigenous cultures, and wildlife that call this place home. For over 30 years, CURE has been at the forefront of the fight to protect these life-sustaining resources from pollution and overuse. We work with tribal, federal, state, and local governments to advocate for clean water, help communities navigate land use decisions, and support people in standing up for the resources they depend on.
