Many thanks to our SCNA Volunteers Dick Widholm, Larry Bontreger, Pam Owens and Jeffrey Strand along with MPRB Ralph Sievert and Mary O’Neill for ribboning 49th and Russell and Sheridan and parts of 51st Ave N to raise awareness about the Emerald Ash Borer issue. The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board is responsible for the boulevard trees and those in the City’s parks. They will be systematically removing Ash trees from those areas over the next eight years systematically. To learn more about their plan go to www.minneapolisparks.org.
