Red Lake River Corridor Homepage

The Red Lake River Corridor Enhancement (RLRCE) project aims to protect and restore the river’s natural corridor to enhance water quality and fish and wildlife habitat that will provide for educational, recreational and economic opportunities. The specific goal resulting from our most recent efforts is to produce culturally and environmentally sensitive planning and design documents for boat access points, city and county parkland and trails, and a geographic information system focusing on a 5-mile-wide corridor from Lower Red Lake to East Grand Forks.

This grant-funded project has reached conclusion and generated a number of products.

Design Work	The Center for Changing Landscapes completed the final landscape and site specific designs. This 187-page, large format book is available online. Draft documents from 2003 are also available.

Geographic Information Systems	This project assembled GIS coverages as a baseline for landsape design work as well as for projecting urbanization patterns at 2020 and 2050.

Final Report	The brief final report prepared for the Northwest Minnesota Foundation is also available online.
