Environmental & Naturalists Team

The Environmental & Naturalists Team at the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the natural ecosystems within the park system. This team manages horticultural activities, oversees forestry operations, and leads environmental education programs. They work to promote environmental stewardship and provide educational opportunities through programs like JD Rivers' Children's Garden, interpretive nature walks, and neighborhood engagement. Together, they ensure the sustainability and ecological health of the parklands while fostering a deeper connection between the community and the natural environment.
