Natural Resources Management Plan

In August of 2018, Forest Park Forever and the City of St. Louis’s Department of Parks, Recreation & Forestry launched a comprehensive Natural Resources Management Plan to ensure the ongoing health, diversity and sustainability of the Park’s forests, waterway and more.

Following a deliberate process that included community input, we are pleased to present the final draft of our Forest Park Natural Resources Management Plan at a public meeting on April 18, 2019. Enjoy a short presentation and pose questions to the project team.

Project Goals:

• Help us better understand Forest Park’s natural resources and the
  human, mechanical and financial resources required

• Properly restore and sustain the health, diversity and productivity of Forest Park’s natural areas

• Determine the scope, scale and timing of restoration and maintenance projects

• Secure resources needed to accomplish desired outcomes
