Friends of Scandia Parks and Trails

Are you interested in parks and natural areas?
Do you wish for more hiking, biking and horse trails in Scandia?
Would you like to see more permanent protection for natural areas?

The first full membership meeting of the Friends will be at 7 p.m. on Thursday, January 29 at the Scandia Community Center. Our agenda will include priorities for 2009 - where should we focus our efforts? This is really important for us. We'll discuss how we can best make a difference for the parks, trails and open spaces in our beloved Scandia.

We'll also elect the first board of directors. Persons elgible to vote in the election will be those who have already paid their $20 dues per household (or more!) or those who pay when they arrive at the meeting. Please come!!!

Friends of Scandia Parks and Trails is a non-profit (501c3) organization dedicated to protecting and enhancing the parks, trails, open space and natural areas in the City of Scandia. We will seek funding for creating and improving parks, such as improving trails and signage at Wind in the Pines Nature Park; creating accessible trails and restoring habitat at Lilleskogen Park and assisting with Gateway Trail plans and other bicycle and recreational trails.

Several volunteer events each year will engage citizens in stewardship activities and enjoyment of Scandia's natural areas. Please join us to improve Scandia's parks and trials!
