Minnesota Land Trust is a public charity organization that serves to protect and restore some of Minnesota’s most precious land. In partnership with the Trust, BLUE-PENCIL COLLECTIVE donates a portion of their profits, including $100 for every project referral and 1% of our annual profit.
Our time is also spent volunteering with the Land Trust as “Volunteer Monitors”. As Monitors, we join staff and landowners in visiting and observing protected properties, to ensure they remain in their natural state forever.
