Bravo! Private corporations, foundations, and whoever donating funds to MN for conservation purposes with state allocated funds is a great idea for the state's future benefit. If more folks would come forward for the public good and welfare, this state can be a conservation and green model for the nation.

Now if only US Steel and the state can reach agreement in the same limelight for the proposed new Iron Range/Vermillion State Park. Just think how much goodwill for all can be achieved.

This is truly good news for northern minnesota. I hope more minnesota foundations can be inspired and use foundation money within minnesota. Too much of it leaves the state. Those who work in foundations will know what I'm talking about.
