Northwind Outoors

North Wind Outdoors is a habitat management and conservation consultancy dedicated to responsible land stewardship and healthy wildlife habitats. Owned and operated by Ryan Rothstein, a professionally trained wildlife biologist, the business works with private landowners, government game agencies, and nonprofit organizations to restore, manage, and protect natural areas, from native prairie to hardwood forest. Its services include habitat management plans tailored to landowner goals, woodland stewardship plans for Minnesota properties, and guidance on conservation programs that may help offset project costs or provide financial support.

The company’s approach combines sound management practices with practical advice, supporting goals that range from improving land for wildlife to creating pollinator habitat.
