GreenTouch Project

The GreenTouch project is a partnership between Minnesota’s Touchstone Energy® cooperatives and the Minnesota State Park system. The electric cooperatives stand for, Integrity, Accountability, Community Involvement and Innovation. The state park sponsorship fits well with the Touchstone Energy commitment. Each cooperative that participates in this annual event recruits members and employees to volunteer at state parks within or near their service area.

The GreenTouch project is a partnership between Minnesota’s Touchstone Energy cooperatives and the Minnesota State Park system. Electric cooperatives in Minnesota have donated $320,000 over the last ten years to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to help fund the State Park guide and Junior Park Naturalist program. Over that time, GreenTouch has provided 7,300 volunteers who have worked nearly 24,700 hours hours for the Minnesota State Park system.
