used in exploring and creating a 12-week summer recreation program. Staff is looking to contract a nature educator or naturalist to lead the outdoor program in parks, with potential topics ranging from environmental stewardship and birding, to advocacy for pollinators and outdoor recreation. Staff also met to discuss a grant application for interpretive signage through the Minnesota Historical Society. Signage may include history of Trott Brook Cemetery and Old Town Hall, as well as the story of evolving human transportation over the millennia along, and including the Mississippi River Trail. Interpretive signage is to increase awareness of Ramsey history and to ensure preservation of community knowledge. The grant being explored would be for $10,000 with no local match necessary.
