Specifically, it: <br />77 Implements the 2024 NRMMP’s vision of ecologically resilient, educational, and <br />78 accessible natural areas. <br />79 Preserves and restores significant natural resources and habitats across the park <br />80 system. <br />81 Promotes volunteer engagement, community stewardship, and educational <br />82 opportunities. <br />83 Supports the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and the City’s values of community, <br />84 accountability, equity, and sustainability. <br />85 <br />86 <br />87 Equity Impact Summary <br />88 The implementation of the 2024 Natural Resources Management Plan through the CPL <br />89 grant advances Roseville’s commitment to environmental equity and inclusive access to <br />90 natural spaces. <br />91 Prioritization of Underserved Areas: A significant portion of the planned <br />92 restoration work will occur in Census Tract 416.02, Roseville’s most diverse <br />93 neighborhood, ensuring that historically underrepresented residents directly benefit <br />94 from enhanced natural spaces. <br />95 Inclusive Engagement: The project integrates more than 60 volunteer stewardship <br />96 events, offering opportunities for residents of all backgrounds to contribute to <br />97 environmental improvement, build connections, and gain environmental education. <br />98 Shared Benefits: Restored habitats improve water quality, biodiversity, and park <br />99 aesthetics, providing community-wide benefits while ensuring equitable access to <br />100 high-quality natural areas across the City. <br />101 Climate Resilience: Because climate and environmental impacts often <br />102 disproportionately affect marginalized communities, the project’s focus on restoring <br />103 resilient ecosystems also supports broader community health and well-being. <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />Qbhf!53!pg!558 <br /> <br />
