GMRPTC Announces 2021 District Workshops

The Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission (GMRPTC) will be holding District-level FREE virtual workshops in June. Each workshop will provide information and training about the new 2021 GMRPTC Strategic Plan and answer questions from partners and the general public.

Park and trail managers, city/county administrators, land commissioners, planning consultants and others responsible for regional-level parks and trails in Greater Minnesota are encouraged to attend.

A virtual workshop will be held in each of Greater Minnesota’s six districts, plus one at-large evening session. Attendees are encouraged to register for the workshop in their area but may choose another session if the time is more convenient. Register online for any of the following workshops at https://www.gmrptcommission.org/2021-district-workshops.html.

Wednesday, June 2, 10:00AM – 12:00 Noon, District 5 (Southwest)
Wednesday, June 2, 1:00 – 3:00PM, District 4 (Central)
Tuesday, June 8, 1:00 – 3:00PM, District 2 (Northwest)
Thursday, June 10, 6:30 – 8:30PM, At-Large (Statewide)
Tuesday, June 15, 10:00AM – 12:00 Noon, District 3 (West Central)
Tuesday, June 15, 1:00 – 3:00PM, District 1 (Northeast)
Tuesday, June 22, 1:00 – 3:00PM, District 6 (Southeast)

The purpose of the workshops is to help agencies understand the contents of the Commission’s new Strategic Plan. This 86-page plan is designed to help managers and volunteers develop effective proposals for regional designation and funding. As more agencies prepare their initial and updated Master Plans, they can look to this strategic plan for clearer standards and tools that will help tell their regional story.

More information, including the 2021 Strategic Plan, is available at the workshop registration website listed above. For additional information, contact System Plan Coordinator Joe Czapiewski at [email protected].
