Board hears proposal to partner on drone-based invasive-species detection
Summary
A private applicant asked whether Chisago County Parks would partner on an LCCMR/ENRTF grant to use drone scanning for early detection and targeted management of invasive species on park lands.
A member of the public told the Park Board they are applying for an LCCMR (ENRTF) grant to use drone scanning to locate invasive species on park lands and asked whether Chisago County Parks would consider partnering. The proposed partnership would let the drone scan county parks to identify invasive plants for targeted management.
Board members heard the proposal as an informational request; no formal commitment or vote was recorded. Staff indicated they would evaluate the request and report back to the board if the partnership proceeds or requires county action.
