Look at all the work done led by Ed Jepsen and the Friends of the Yahara River Parkway with 72 volunteers!!
The workday was a wonderful success with at least 72 people (folks who signed the volunteer forms) showing up at Tenney Park for Earth Day activities.
* Twenty trees in Burr Jones along the bike/ped path. (some great help from the scout troop at Trinity Lutheran)
* One swamp white oak at Tenney Beach (thanks Briarpatch volunteers)
* Karen led volunteers in planting over 430 wildflowers near Tenney Beach
* Sean Gere from Gere Tree Care removed honeysuckle and buckthorn along the river
* Jody and Tom led a group of St. Olaf alumni in a clean-out of the shrub/tree beds in Filene Park (Sean helped here too!)
* litter pick-up through-out the parkAll the plants are in the ground and enjoying the rain today.
The only thing left is for the city crews to haul away the cuttings…
Thanks to all the volunteers for a great effort!
