We commend Elk <br />River for moving proactively to plan for this growth by completing a comprehensive plan and conducting a natural <br />resources inventory. Our team will provide you with accurate and easy-to-understand information in a timely <br />manner, drawing on our experience and commitment to the environment and environmentally sound practices. <br /> <br />Your natural resources inventory will form the backbone of your efforts to manage open space and natural resources <br />and will be used in a variety of ways by many people. Our team will give you information that will cover differing <br />use needs. The information will be: <br /> <br />· Accurate <br />· Scientifically sound <br />· Thorough <br />· Easy to understand and access <br /> <br />In addition, the information needs to be available soon, so that it can be incorporated into your planning process and <br />quickly applied. <br /> <br />Bonestroo offers one of the most experienced teams of natural resource scientists in the region. This team has <br />worked on inventories throughout the upper Midwest and understands the local ecology. We also understand the <br />issues and opportunities presented by a natural resource inventory and have the skills necessary to make all aspects <br />of the process go smoothly, from public meetings and property access to data analysis and report production. <br /> <br />We would like the opportunity to work with you on this project. Please call me at (651) 604-4812 if you have any <br />questions about our proposal, need more information about our abilities or have questions about the natural resource <br />inventory process. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />BON~, INC. <br />Pafll J.
