We offered the tree education sessions in both English and Spanish to engage Latine community members to learn about the benefits of trees, how to correctly plant trees and care for them, how to manage tree pests and about opportunities for careers in Forestry. We're supporting 4 neighborhoods to increase their tree coverage from 15% up to 40% by ensuring that all new trees are planted correctly and are watered weekly for the first 3 years to get well established to provide benefits for decades to come. https://rccmn.co/trees Through our Growing Communities outreach with Hennepin County we engaged community members to help plan a new pollinator garden that is being developed on a vacant lot in an industrial area in Eden Prairies that is adjacent to a regional bike trail.
