Check here for activities currently under environmental review for effects on native plants

Many eyes and ears make good work.  While MNNPS bloggers cannot stay up on all current issues affecting our native plants and communities, you can contribute by adding to this post what MNNPS members need to know to show up at public meetings, send public comments, and contact legislative representatives about issues of importance. 

Actions undergoing state environmental review are posted at the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board Monitor Publication.  http://www.eqb.state.mn.us/monitor.html

    Check out the video at this link – http://www.preciouswaters.org – which summarizes the issues surrounding the proposed PolyMet project. One significant issue is the effect on 1,000 acres of peatlands.
