[Duluth, MN] - The City of Duluth is accepting public comments during a 30-day public review period running from August 31 to September 30, 2015, on an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) that was prepared for the Phase 1 Implementation of the Hartley Park Mini-Master Plan facilitated by the City’s Parks and Recreation division in 2014. 

 

Implementation of the Hartley Park Mini-Master Plan Phase 1 improvement projects include: forest management of red pine and aspen stands, invasive vegetation management, new trail construction to repair and realign existing trails, and parking improvements at three park entrance locations and the main Hartley Nature Center entrance. The proposed project would be initiated when all permits and approvals are received.
