Press release from the City of Minnetonka:

People and nature are inseparable. Nature provides materials we use, services that sustain our communities and the planet, and experiences that restore our spirits. The City of Minnetonka is filled with these resources – from robust woodlands, lush grasslands and bodies of fresh water to diverse pollinators, birds and other wildlife. At the same time, the city's natural environment and resources are vulnerable to habitat loss, climate change, invasive species and other threats that are primarily linked to human activity.
City staff are developing a natural resources plan to guide long-term management of natural resources and natural areas in Minnetonka. This plan identifies priorities and opportunities to regenerate diverse ecosystems citywide, while recognizing the many ecological, social and economic benefits of improving natural resources in the city.
Feedback welcome A summary of the plan is available at Minnetonka Matters, where you can enter comments as you review. Draft copies of plan chapters are located in the 'Draft Document Library' on the righthand side of the main page. Comments received will be compiled, themes identified, and changes incorporated into the final plan where appropriate.
