Public Meeting for Duluth’s Natural Resource Management Program Plan

The City of Duluth’s Parks and Recreation staff invite the public to attend an online public information meeting regarding Duluth’s first-ever Natural Resource Management Program Plan. The plan will create a framework to guide the city and its partners to better preserve, repair, nurture and understand its natural resources.

The NRMPP is funded by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and is being designed along with the city’s partners, whose missions are to work on and protect public land. Once created, the NRMPP will include a set of adaptive tools designed to tell the ongoing story of natural resource work in the city, document the decisions for project prioritization and strategies, and map and collect data better to understand the condition of Duluth’s natural resources.

The meeting agenda will include:

• the program’s mission and goals
• the public lands to be included
• shared goals for prioritizing projects
• hopes for the future
• a discussion on how this effort will support a more resilient Duluth

For more information on the plan, visit duluthmn.gov. Public comments are welcome and can be submitted using the form at the bottom of the webpage. Comments and questions can be submitted until Nov. 20.

To join the meeting, visit duluthmn.gov/live-meeting and select, “Parks & Recreation Public Meetings.” The meeting will be recorded and posted on the project webpage for those who are unable to attend.
