Jeff Retires From FBIW
Retiring as President and a Board Member of Friends of Birch Island Woods, founder Jeff Strate reflects on the decade-old
mission that few thought would succeed.
In 1999, I began referring to a nameless swath of wetlands and trees in northern Eden Prairie as Birch Island Woods. This
was a ploy to raise awareness that the lovely area was on the verge of being lost to development. A utilitarian For Sale
sign had been posted on Edenvale Boulevard, taken down and then re-posted a number of months later. It turned out that Hennepin
County was the owner of most of the parcels that formed the woods. Those and other far-flung county-owned properties (some
were developed sites) were going to be sold off because the county had no use for them.
