  2024 By the Numbers

Picture
We had another eventful year and celebrate our collective efforts to restore high-priority areas within our parks, in collaboration with the City of Minnetonka. FoMP strives to be a catalyst of positive change in the community, playing an integral role in reversing the trends of environmental degradation in our park system. We are creating a verdant and vibrant community in which ecological stewardship, and community connectedness and partnerships thrive.
