DNR 2025 Accomplishments

The DNR is pleased to share its annual accomplishments list. Each of the featured items helped advance our mission and the goals in our Conservation Agenda. While the list does not capture all the DNR has done this year it reflects the scope and importance of the work done throughout Minnesota.

Safety reminders as snowmobile season gets underway

Several rounds of snow mean people in many parts of Minnesota already are getting out for those first snowmobile rides of the year. With a potentially long riding season on tap, please remember to make safety your top priority, stay on the trail to avoid trespassing and damaging private property, and ride sober.
