    On May 14, Northside Safety NET interns joined Hennepin County foresters to install Tree Trek signs at the 2.1-acre vacant lot at the intersection of 8th and Washburn Avenue North in the Homewood neighborhood of Minneapolis.

    Tree Trek is an interactive way to learn about the trees and ecology of plants. This Tree Trek also focuses on the climate adaptability of different species on the site.

    One year ago, county forestry and Northside Safety NET interns hosted a volunteer community planting that followed the plan created by interns and selected by residents during an outreach campaign.

    County foresters continue to care for and maintain the trees on the site and have plans to replace trees that did not survive their first year since planting. Additional remediation of the invasive species on the site will continue for one more year.

    Take a walk through the Tree Trek to learn more about what is growing on the site and enjoy the trek!
