Parks + Trails:
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recently announced it awarded $3.4 million in grants to 21 local communities from the new Parks and Trails Legacy Grant Program.
The projects will help local governments acquire, develop, restore, and maintain parks and trails of regional or statewide significance across Minnesota. Funding for this program comes from the Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment approved by voters in 2008.
