Update on the Roberts Bird Sanctuary

by Kit Healy Chair, Conservation Committee, Audubon Chapter of Minneapolis

Good news about Roberts Bird Sanctuary: At its April 25 meeting, the CAC voted to remove the two sites next to the Sanctuary from consideration as a potential off-leash dog park site.

Thank you to everyone who spoke out on behalf of the Sanctuary: CAC members said they hear the opposition to the sites loud & clear. Of course, the CAC only makes recommendations; it is the MPRB Commissioners who have the final say on where the new dog park is located. It is doubtful the commissioners will vote to put a dog park at either site, however, because they too are well aware of the opposition.
