The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources invites citizens to learn about proposed recreation opportunities in Centennial State Forest, a 3,394-acre state forest in Cass County donated to the DNR in 2013.
The meeting will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Monday, June 26, in the Walker Community Center Rotary Room, 105 Tower Ave., Walker. Following a presentation at 6 p.m., there will be time for questions and answers, map review and comments.
Minnesota state forests are classified into three groupings for off-highway vehicle (OHV) and motor vehicle use:
As part of the overall planning process, the DNR is proposing to classify Centennial State Forest as “limited.” The DNR is also proposing to designate approximately 11 miles of forest roads, to allow OHV and motor vehicle use on those roads.
Comments received at the meeting will be used to develop a final recommendation that will be submitted to the DNR commissioner for approval.
Written comments may be submitted by fax to 651-297-1157, by email to This email address is being protected from spambots.
