regional parks and trails were identified to protect areas of high -quality natural resources or to provide <br />recreation. Some of the boundary adjustments were achieved through a master plan amendment, such <br />as the addition of the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary to the Bruce Vento Regional Trail in Saint Paul. <br />Others have been removed from the System Plan because they have been acquired for other <br />recreational purposes. For example, a portion of the Seminary Fen that was proposed to be added to <br />the Minnesota River Bluffs Regional Trail in Carver County was acquired by the Minnesota Department <br />of Natural Resources. Additionally, land designated as a proposed boundary adjustment area for Rum <br />River Central Regional Park was purchased by Anoka County using non -regional funds. This area <br />became the Cedar Creek Conservation Area, which is not part of the Regional Parks System. Four <br />boundary adjustment areas are included in the 2040 System Plan, which are described in Table 3-7. <br />Table 3-7.
