St. Louis Park Reforest Project planting - volunteers needed

Help plant 35 trees with us as part of the St. Louis Park Reforest Project.

Tree Trust has partnered with the City of Saint Louis Park to add 2,000 well-established trees to the city over the next four years. The St. Louis Park Reforest Project is part of an overall effort to reforest the city after the loss of trees to Dutch elm disease, and to pre-forest the city before emerald ash borer wipes out many more.

Trees will be paid for by donations from St. Louis Park citizens and businesses that are matched dollar-for-dollar by the City of St. Louis Park.

This event is great for individuals, families, and small groups, and people of all ages are welcome. No experience is necessary; Tree Trust staff and trained volunteers will teach you how to plant correctly and be present throughout the event to answer your questions and provide assistance.

To register for the event or request more information, please contact Amanda Greene Guentzel at amandag@treetrust.org or 952-767-3882. See more upcoming volunteer events at www.treetrust.org/get-involved/volunteer.

Tree Trust is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1976 to provide out-of-work individuals with training and paid jobs reforesting the community. Since then, we have expanded to provide integrated employment training, environmental education, and community forestry programs.

By merging lives and landscapes, we:

• Provide meaningful opportunities for greening our local community
• Give youth the chance to experience success, boost their self-confidence, and find direction
• Teach practical job skills to help adults re-shape their lives
• Help neighbors understand and connect with each other and the natural world
