growing seasons (2017-2019).
Environmental Impact
The City of Edina manages the native vegetation restoration at Braemar Academy 9 Golf Course per the
Braemar Academy 9 Golf Course Native Vegetation Management Plan. Restored areas enhance water
quality, improve pollinator and wildlife habitat, and build regional connectivity, among other benefits.
The native restoration helps us to accomplish the following goals;
• Manage wildlife habitat to support biodiversity in plant and animal communities
• Invasive species management
• Reduce herbicide use and promote safe application
• Conserve water and manage vegetation to support improved water quality
• Provide environmental education and public outreach
Community Impact
Properly managing this space helps to meet the community needs outlined in the City of Edina Parks and
Recreation Strategic plan by incorporating programming and management strategies that support a diversity
of outdoor activity.
