  • State of Minnesota’s Arbor Day Celebration in Rochester
    Friday, April 27, 11-1 pm, Central Park, downtown Rochester
    Sponsored by Rochester Public Utilities, Rochester Park and Rec, and Maier Forest & Tree. 

    See the attached flier for additional information.

  • Elton Hills Drive RNeighborWoods tree planting
    Saturday, April 28, 9:30 am

    • Meet by the ball fields of Rochester Central Lutheran School (RCLS). Please park on 9th Avenue, at Elton Hills Elementary, or at Hoover Elementary, not at RCLS.
    Look for a table and smiling people with safety orange vests on. We’ll introduce our Citizen Foresters, go over the logistics of the planting, divide into groups, and then plant 100 trees all along Elton Hills Drive! The majority of these trees were purchased by Rochester Public Utilities and include tree varieties of Serviceberry, Tree Lilac, Adams Crabapple, and Ginkgo trees (in spaces that are not under the power wires).

    They speak for the trees. At the fall 2006 planting, Operation Hometown Gratitude (high school kids who send care packages to troops) helped plant trees at both the Elton Hills Drive and 20th Street SE location.

    So mark your calendars for the above upcoming tree dates. There are lots of Earth loving events going on in Rochester in April 2007!

    Be sure to check the community calendar on this website for more events. See you at the planting!
