Duluth residents are invited to take part in tree-planting parties throughout September in various neighborhoods around Duluth. This party is in the East Hillside neighborhood. The meeting place is the corner of East Eighth Street and Eighth Avenue East.
The tree-planting parties are sponsored by the Duluth Parks Department and the Minnesota GreenCorps. The goal is to plant 150 trees throughout Duluth.
The parties are free and open to volunteers of all ages. Register as a family, an individual or as a group by contacting Cheryl Skafte, volunteer coordinator, city of Duluth, at 218-393-9879 or cskafte @ duluthmn.gov. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged.
Participants should wear sturdy shoes and bring a shovel and gloves if possible, although tools will be provided.
