H. 12 in Orono. I have included a map that shows the <br />subject property. We would be very interested in acquiring this parcel as an addition to the <br />Wood -Rill Scientific and Natural ,Area. In my preliminary discussion with Michael P. Gaffron, <br />Senior Planning Coordinator, he indicated that conveying the land to the Scientific and Natural <br />Areas Program may be a possibility. <br />It is our understanding that the City acquired this parcel for drainage and conservation purposes. <br />We would not propose any modifications to the land surface as a part of our management.We <br />would, over time, restore the parcel to presettlement conditions (Big Woods). <br />I would be happy to meet with you and your staff regarding the SNA Program and this parcel in <br />particular. I will give you a call in this regard in the next two weeks. If you have any questions <br />please feel free to give me a call. <br />Thank you for your interest in natural area protection. <br />Sincerely, <br />Lee Markell, Land Protection Specialist <br />Scientific and Natural Areas Program. -Box 25-500 Lafayette Road -St. Paul, MN 55155-4025 <br />651-296-4781 phone 651-297-1158 fax E-mail: lee.markell@dnr.state.mn.us <br />
