Lino Lakes continues to evaluate and update the resources that go into this plan and continues to implement this plan through development reviews. In cooperation with Rice Creek Watershed District, the WMC is updated regularly to incorporate changes resulting from development and land acquisition. Chapter 10 of the Lino Lakes 2040 Comprehensive Plan outlines the current data used to identify the Greenway System. The area’s mix of plant community types provides diverse habitat for amphibians, reptiles, and mammals as well as numerous species of birds found in multiple habitat niches. The most recent known bird surveys conducted in the mid 1970’s for Lino Lakes and Anoka County documented well over 200 species occurring in the immediate vicinity. The shoreline and shallows north of the island serve as a spawning area for Northern pike and walleye, and as a resting area for terns, black crown night herons, and other waterfowl. The north arm of the lake is one of the few remaining places in the metro area with healthy native vegetation, including water willow, which is considered a species of special concern. Rare and Endangered Species The City has a notable number of rare biological resources, see Table 2-0-21 below. As the Resource Management Plan (RMP) was developed, these rare features and habitats that support rare species were prioritized for protection and incorporation into the Wetland Preservation Corridor. These important natural resource areas were carried forward into the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and identified as part of the Multi-Functional Greenway Corridor. In
