GBCTA Board members were on hand Thursday to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Trout Brook Nature Sanctuary. The Trout Brook Nature Sanctuary encompasses 42 acres of land, and will be the St. Paul's second-largest public reserve site. The Trout Brook Nature Sanctuary has been in the planning stages of development for 10 years, and will feature the Trout Brook Trail, which will connect with the Gateway Trail. The trail and nature preserve are expected to be open to the public sometime in 2015. Check out this map of the project, or this recent Pioneer Press article for more information.
