THREE RIVERS PARK DISTRICT COMMISSIONER—MARGE BEARD <br /> Ms. Marge Beard has been appointed to Three Rivers Park District to fill a seat vacated by Commissioner <br /> Penny Steele. She represents much of Western Hennepin County, including three precincts within Orono. <br /> She is a 25-year resident of Plymouth and previously served on the Plymouth City Council. She thanked <br /> the Council for their service because she's walked in their shoes and understands the difficulty of some of <br /> the decisions made, adding it is the most grassroots public service citizens can do. <br /> Ms.Beard said Three Rivers Park District was established 50 years ago by the state legislature and is a <br /> stand-alone government entity. There is a seven-member Board of Commissioners: five are elected and <br /> two are appointed by the Hennepin County Board. She serves in one of the elected roles. Their mission is <br /> to promote environmental stewardship through recreation and education in natural resource-based <br /> systems.

There are 25 parks, 164 miles of regional trail,they manage 29,000 acres <br /> of land, and they have 12.5 million visitors a year. Three Rivers is mostly known for boating, swimming, <br /> skiing, and snowshoeing. They own their own nursery in Hanover/Rogers, where they grow all their own <br /> trees and plants for their parks. Everything that is grown comes from seeds within 25 miles of Hennepin <br /> County. They have planted over 2 million trees since 1978 and manage 14,000 acres of forest.
