Minnesota Department of Natural Resources <br /> <br /> Metro DNR <br />1200 Warner Road <br />St. Paul, MN 55106 <br /> <br />7 September 2001 <br /> <br />Greetings: <br /> <br /> The Department of Natural Resources, Metro Region, is pleased to announce its <br />request for proposals for the FY2001 Metro Greenways Planning Grant Program. This <br />grant program provides matching grants to implementing agencies to conduct natural <br />resource inventories, land cover mapping, and/or natural resource and greenway <br />planning. <br /> <br /> Since the first grant round in 1998, the Metro Greenways Planning Grant <br />Program has funded 40 natural resource inventory and planning projects throughout the <br />7-county Metro area, totaling over $750,000. The enclosed packet contains, examples <br />of the types of projects funded by the Metro Greenways Planning Grant Program. <br />Additionally, I have enclosed a brief with some information about an important new tool <br />for use in natural resource inventories and planning - the Minnesota Land Cover <br />Classification system. <br /> <br /> We strongly encourage all implementing agencies to review the planning grant <br />brochure and the potential benefits this program might bring to the natural amenities in <br />your local community. If you are interested in applying for a Metro Greenway planning <br />grant, please phone Sharon Pfeifer (651-772-7982), Metro Regional Planner, or check <br />the DNR website (http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/greenprint/metro-green.html) for further <br />information and/or application materials. <br /> <br />Sincerely, . . <br />. .;--'~7'.~-/.. .,.) <br /> <br />Sharon Pfeifer <br />Metro DNR Regional Planner <br /> <br />-90- <br /> <br />DNRInformation: 651-296-6157 · 1-888-646-6367 · TTY: 651-296-5484. 1-800-657-3929 <br /> <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer ,,,~ Printed on Recycled Paper Containing a <br /> Who Values Diversity T~' Minimum of 20% Post-Consumer Waste <br /> <br /> <br />
