Anoka County's Natural Resources Unit will be directly involved with the design, construction and monitoring of the proposed trail project. A concerted emphasis will be placed on avoiding and minimizingany adverse impacts to the plant and animal habitat, as well as to the overall watershed. In addition, Anoka County will focus on incorporating local native seed and plant material that will compliment the ecology and funcn'of the surrounding native plant communities. 3.
