September 24, 2018 Re:Roseville Parks and Recreation Natural ResourceRestoration Renewal Program Scheduled Improvements to Pioneer Park Dear Neighbors of Pioneer Park, This letter is to inform you that the City of Roseville Parks and Recreation Department will be proceeding with the planned Natural Resource Restoration Improvements at PioneerPark. Roseville Parks and Recreation is in the midst of aneco-restoration project to remove invasive/nonnative plant species from city parks. This 376total acre (155 core acres/221 non-core acres) natural resources renewal project will include prairie/savanna, woodland, wetland, and shoreline restoration and management. In order to eradicate the abundant invasive/nonnative plant growth, such as Buckthorn and Tatarian Honeysuckle, significant woodland cutting is required. Native shrubs and hardwoodwill be left undisturbed as much as possible. Once the removal of the invasive/nonnative growth is completed, native plant material will be reintroduced. As this projectoccurs, we will make every effort to limit disruptions in the neighborhood and will of course be observing the highest possible safety standards during the entire process. We will also be updating project schedules and information on our website www.cityofroseville.comon an as needed basis. If there are any issues, please contact me using the information listed below. We will be hosting an informational meeting on these improvements Monday, October 8 from 6:00pm –7:30pm at the Roseville Skating Center located at 2661 Civic Center Drive. These projects are part of the City of Roseville’s Parks and Recreation Renewal Program. Sincerely, Jim Taylor Park Superintendent Phone: 651-792-7107 james.e.taylor@cityofroseville.com
