Save the Date! Replanting Minnehaha to Take Place on OCTOBER 16!

Exciting news: Tree Trust has confirmed that the Replant Minnehaha Trees project is a recipient of their "Green Futures" replanting grant! 

This means Tree Trust will provide trees, tools, and planting expertise to get trees in the ground along Minnehaha Ave and surrounding streets this fall! The replanting date has been set for October 16, 1-4 p.m. Please save the date and plan to come out to Minnehaha Ave that afternoon -- we hope to see lots of neighborhood folks out to help replant and celebrate! 

 Replant Minnehaha Trees continues to collect replanting permit applications and work on stump removal for the blocks whose homeowners have all signed up for replanting. So far 46 stumps have been removed. The final date to submit a replanting permit application is October 1. Tree Trust staff and the City Forestry Department are working to purchase a mix of trees to replant that will ensure a healthy, biodiverse tree canopy, and identify locations for 50+ trees to be replanted on the 16th! 

To volunteer for replanting day or to submit a permit application, please email HamlineEarthkeepers@gmail.com.

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!
