You are invited! Replanting Launch Party - July 15 at Hamline Church

You are invited! 

A launch party for the Replant Minnehaha Trees project is planned for Thursday, July 15, 3:00-6:30 p.m., with programming to start at 4:00.  The event will take place on the east side of Hamline Church, 1514 Englewood Ave.  It will include Russ Stark, St. Paul’s Chief Resiliency Officer, and representatives from the City’s forestry department to discuss types of trees available for replanting and the city’s plans for regrowing and expanding St. Paul’s tree cover.  

Neighbors with trees to be replanted can sign up at the event and complete their permit application for replanting.  But all are invited and encouraged to attend, whether or not you have a tree to replant – a strong neighborhood show-out for this event will send a message to the City that Hamline Midway cares about regrowing Minnehaha Ave as soon as possible!
