Minnesotans treasure our Great Outdoors. Enjoying our lakes, rivers, =
wetlands, prairies and forests is

an important part of our way of life and who we are. But today, our =
Great Outdoors is threatened. The

Metro Council estimates that Minnesota's population will grow by 1.2 =
million people in the next 25

years. All those new residents will put added pressure on our lakes, =
rivers, forests and parks, increase

our need for energy, and take up to 1 million acres of natural areas and =
farmland through sprawl and

development. On Wednesday, February 21st, hundreds of citizens from =
across Minnesota are coming

to Saint Paul to rally in the Capitol rotunda and meet with their =
Legislators to ask them to make smart

investments to protect and restore Minnesota's Great Outdoors so we can =
keep enjoying it today and be

able to pass it on to our kids tomorrow.

Bus transportation provided to and from communities across

Minnesota, including Duluth. Additional communities will be

announced. Visit www.ProtectOurGreatOutdoors.org for the most

up-to-date information. To find out more about public

transportation options, visit www.metrotransit.org. A free continental

breakfast will be provided. Bring or buy your own lunch.

We cannot guarantee that Legislators will be available to meet with

every constituent, but we will do our best.

This event is sponsored by the Minnesota Environmental Partnership. The

Partnership is a coalition of more than 80 non-profit environmental and

conservation organizations working together to protect, restore and

enhance Minnesota's precious natural resources.
