Stop The Pit - Becker County, Minnesota

Help Us Protect Becker County from a Gravel Pit

We need your help to protect the natural beauty, health, and safety of Becker County, Minnesota.

A proposed gravel pit threatens to permanently alter our rural landscape, disturb peaceful neighborhoods, endanger local wildlife, pose health risks, and negatively impact air and water quality. We are a group of concerned residents standing up for our community—and we urgently need your support to stop this project before it's too late.

Why We're Fighting

The proposed gravel pit would bring:

Noise, dust, and air pollution.

Dangerous heavy truck traffic, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries.

Environmental harm to local wildlife and water sources, potentially affecting both ecosystems and public health.

Decreased property values, which impacts the financial well-being of homeowners.

Health complications: long-term exposure to airborne dust and pollutants can exacerbate pre-existing conditions such as asthma, lung diseases, and cardiovascular problems.

This isn’t just a matter of inconvenience—it’s about protecting the health, safety, and quality of life of our residents and future generations.

How Funds Will Be Used

We are raising money to cover costs associated with opposing the gravel pit. This could include legal fees, environmental studies, and expert consultations. These efforts are essential to make our case effectively before local decision-makers and to ensure that our community’s voice is heard loud and clear.

What Happens to Extra Funds?

We believe in full transparency. If we raise more than is needed, all unused funds will be refunded proportionally to our donors, in line with GoFundMe policies.
