Hunting at Minnesota Preserves

Hunting Opportunities at Minnesota Preserves

The Nature Conservancy provides opportunities to hunt deer and other game species on some of the property that we own in Minnesota. We have also helped protect and transfer many thousands of acres of land to public and private entities, some of which are open for hunting and other recreation opportunities.

Please only hunt on the properties identified on our hunting map. Other TNC properties not listed here are NOT open to the public for hunting. Some TNC properties require a permit application to hunt.

Click on Preserve locations on the map below to view hunting regulations, find out if a special hunting permit is required, and get directions.

If a permit is required, a link to the permit application will be available in the pop-up.

Visit the  Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' hunting and trapping website  for more information about hunting in the state.

If you have questions about hunting on TNC properties, please email Minnesota@tnc.org or call our offices:
