Project Overview:
HABITAT RESTORATION:
In 2015, the City of Duluth received a $400,000 Conservation Partners Legacy Metro grant to rehabilitate the native plant species along the Western Waterfront Trail and adjacent public green space. $175,000 of ½ and ½ funding was used as grant match funds. The project will take two years to implement first with the removal of invasive plant species and then followed by the planting of native plant species. In addition, the City has committed to monitor the restoration for 20 years.
