  • 2012 Annual Report 1 Our Mission to Acquire, Protect and Enhance Critical Land for the Public’S Use and Benefit
    2012 Annual Report 1 Our Mission To acquire, protect and enhance critical land for the public’s use and benefit. Our Vision We envision an interconnected system of parks, trails, waterways, natural areas and open spaces that provide all Minnesotans with outstanding outdoor recreational opportunities and that preserve the natural diversity of our state. Cover photo: Jay Cooke State Park by Gary Alan Nelson 2 Inside cover photo: Cascade River State Park by Rudi Hargesheimer Dear Friends With each new project that we undertake at the Parks & Trails Council, we get the opportunity to meet the people who care deeply for “their” special place on earth. Sometimes this is the park naturalist, who has vigilantly cataloged and researched every knoll and valley within a park. Other times it is a trail user, whose quality of life has been so deeply enriched with experiences of peddling among the trees that she has rallied a group of fellow conservationists together to protect it for the future. In 2012 we got to work very closely with the men and women who make up the Friends of the Mill Towns State Trail. It has been a real pleasure to work beside these individuals to ensure this trail becomes a reality. Blazing trails requires determination; already, 12 years have passed since the Mill Towns State Trail was authorized, and most of the trail remains as simply an idea on paper. There would likely be no segment of trail completed without the efforts of the Friends of Mill Towns State Trail. And their continued efforts will eventually see people experiencing the benefits of a connected system of trail spanning 85 miles through natural splendor starting in Red Wing, MN and ending in Mankato, MN.
