Volunteers and partners plant 3,500 trees in St. Louis Park
In October, partners and volunteers from the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota Green Corps, and the Lifetime Foundation helped Hennepin County foresters plant 3,500 trees at Westwood Hills Nature Center in St. Louis Park. Commissioner Marion Greene also joined to help with the planting. Good work and thank you!
Trees and forests provide many benefits, including improving our air and water, making us and our communities healthier, reducing the urban heat island effect, providing wildlife habitat, saving energy and increasing property values.
Hennepin County foresters, with the help of cities, partners, and residents, are over one-third of the way toward achieving our climate-action goal of planting 1 million trees by 2030. County foresters will plant 7,522 trees throughout the county this fall and a total of about 21,850 total trees in 2024.
Thank you for your contribution!
