YEAR END GIVING SEASON!
We need your support this year end! ✨ High quality nature in our urban landscape is vital to support biodiversity, help regulate local climates, mitigate the negative effects of urbanization such as air and noise pollution, and provide us with relaxation and recreational opportunities.
As undeveloped land in the Twin Cities becomes more scarce, Wilderness in the City works to restore and preserve the natural resources in Lebanon Hills Regional Park and other urban natural areas for ourselves and future generations. Give now and support this important work!
Funds will support more projects like our Bike to Hike campaign for Lebanon Hills and our Turf to Pollinator Gardens across the regional parks systems.

BIKE TO HIKE SUCCESS
A big thank you to everyone who included Wilderness in the City in their Give to the Max Day giving! With your incredible generosity, we surpassed our $2,000 goal! We are working with Dakota County Parks to get the new bike racks and signage installed at the Lebanon Hills and Dodd Road Trailheads in 2024. Thank You!
