Support Minnesota Point 50; Year-end fundraising is underway!
It’s December in Duluth and Minnesota Point is as beautiful as ever. Snow, ice, wind and massive lakers all grace this unique sandbar that is home to deer, beavers, eagles, the occasional bear, and a few humans.
Minnesota Point 50 (MP50) is working hard to make sure this December scene exists 50 years from now, and we need your help.
In the next year we are planning several actions that will impact the resiliency of our beloved Minnesota Point. Your gift today will help:
- Fund a Recreational Visitors Guide to educate the 1 million visitors annually to help us protect Minnesota Point.
- Underwrite research on Dune Restoration to ensure a strong and healthy ecosystem.
- Create a Minnesota Point Coastal Resiliency Education Series to engage all residents and businesses in learning how to care for Minnesota Point.
As part of a Great Lakes Hope Spot, Minnesota Point is vital to the health of our economy, the stability of our environment, and the health of the ocean. https://www.sheddaquarium.org/care-and-conservation/the-great-lakes-the-first-freshwater-hope-spot

12/11/2024 Presentation for the Parks Commissioners
“During each of our Parks and Recreation Commission meetings, we try to invite a community group to share a brief overview of their organization and activities, which helps our Commissioners better understand the uses of our park system. We typically allot about 10 minutes for presentation and up to an additional 10 for Q&A with the Commission. While a public meeting, there is not Q&A with the general public in attendance, it is an informational presentation to the Commission.”
Wednesday, December 11 at 5:00 p.m. in Conference Room 330 (third floor of City Hall)
