Parks and Trails Announcement

Parks and Trails 

We have WONDERFUL news …. 

Friends of Bertram Lakes has been accepted as a community partner by the Parks and Trails Council of Minnesota.  The 3,400-member-strong Parks & Trails Council has worked in partnership with more than 100 community groups to make the case for necessary and smart investments in park and trail systems throughout Minnesota.

Being an affiliated community partner has many benefits for our group, including:

• We will be able to maintain our own pages on the Parks & Trails Web site, so we can share news, events and other important information.
• We could be featured in and/or share information with Minnesota Trails magazine readers.
• We have the opportunity to learn about Parks & Trails Council-sponsored workshops. These workshops link people who are working on park and trail issues throughout Minnesota, facilitate the development of new Friends groups, and strengthen existing groups through networking and education. Workshops provide the latest information about issues of statewide significance that have local impacts and the tools needed to make our local projects a reality.
• We can offer your members Parks & Trails Council memberships at a discounted rate.
• We can accept donations as a non-profit, which makes your donations tax deductible.
• We can be a part of the Parks & Trails Council’s advocacy and legislative efforts through the Action Team.

As we learn more about how we can enhance our partnership with this experienced organization, we’ll keep you posted.

As always, thanks for your support!
