  • People Saving Special Places
    People Saving Special Places Parks & Trails Council of Minnesota Annual Report 2006 Dear Friends innesotans treasure our parks and trails because they give us Maccess to the state’s most outstanding natural, cultural and scenic resources. They are special places where we recreate, interact with nature and enjoy peaceful solitude. Since 1954, the Parks & Trails Council has protected, enhanced and expanded these great outdoor places for generations upon generations of people to enjoy. On the pages of this annual report you will find evidence that the Parks & Trails Council continues to excel in fulfilling our mission. You will also find examples of how we have helped make Minnesota’s park and trail systems the envy of the nation. Clearly, we could not do the important work we do without the generous support of our members and donors, and for that we thank each and every one of you who has made contributions to our wonderful organization. Always determined and forward thinking, the Parks & Trails Council headed into the 2006 legislative session armed with a comprehensive agenda that helped secure nearly $25 million for state park and trail acquisition, development and rehabilitation. The impact of these investments can be felt in nearly every corner of the state. Grant Merritt Our efforts at the Capitol were successful because of the strong bonds we’ve formed with more than 100 grassroots citizen groups around the state. We continued to cultivate these partnerships in 2006 by hosting events such as our biennial conference, our annual Day on the Hill and the first-ever North Shore Parks and Trails Leadership Summit with workshops designed to both energize and educate parks and trails advocates about the important issues of the day.

It's an opportunity to bundle up our efforts and accomplishments into a tidy package that we can reflect upon. It's like a time capsule that years from now we can look back on to see how far we've come. In fact, we recently dusted off our annual report from 20 years ago for this very reason. At that time we were celebrating a boost in membership to 880 members. Today those numbers have increased four-fold to 3,700 members and our budget tells the same story.
