Conservation Minnesota, in partnership with GreenStep Cities & Tribal Nations, is hosting a tour and social hour for Environment, Sustainability, Parks & Recreation, and Natural Resource Volunteer Commissioners. This is Conservation Minnesota’s 7th year helping to gather commissioners from around the state to share successes, tackle challenges, and network with our neighbors. We look forward to continuing this tradition with you again this year.
What: 2024 Environment Commissions Conference – Oak Savanna Restoration Tour & Social Hour

We’ll hear from Burnsville’s Natural Resources Specialist, Caleb Ashling, who's led the restoration efforts over the last ten years.
