Time to brag about your great parks and trails!

Calling all GMPT members!

Do you have a park or trail in your community or region that you are particularly proud of and want to share? Did you find a creative way to finance or partner with others to complete a project? Do any of your parks or trails have unique features or aspects that others could learn from?

If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above, we would like to feature your park, trail or project in a future edition of our monthly newsletter and on our website! If interested, please email us at greatermnparkstrails@gmail.com.
