Abstract
In 2017 the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) began a two-phase study to collect quantitative and qualitative data for urban park natural areas in Minneapolis, MN parks to inform management activities. The first phase took existing GIS data and quality ranking systems and tailored them to the Minneapolis park system. The second phase, which is still in process, involves field checking the data, applying the quality ranking system, and writing a management plan.

Summary
In 2017 the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) began a two-phase study to collect quantitative and qualitative data for urban park natural areas in Minneapolis, MN parks to inform management activities. The third goal was to connect the assessment data and management recommendations to resources and funding needed to develop and implement work plans. The final goal is to use the written Natural Areas Management Plan and GIS data to communicate to the public, park commissioners, and staff on the ecology and sustainable management of these areas. Of the approximate $1,300,000 the MPRB receives annually in lottery dollars, $100,000 is allocated annually from these funds to maintain natural resources in the Minneapolis regional park system. These funds are used by the Natural Resources work group for materials, contracted services, and seasonal staff wages
