Tree Planting in Dean Park
The June 2013 storm took down many old trees in and around Dean Parkway. Resident and CIDNA Co-Founder Don Willeke worked with the University of Minnesota and the Park Board to develop a planting plan that will add 25 new
trees (16 different species) to the area.
Join the crew to help plant the new trees:
Tonight: Thursday, May 226:30 p.m. Dean Parkway (north of the Midtown Greenway) MapRefreshments will be available after the planting. Details: Dean Park is the home for many usual and rare trees. Don Willeke worked with the University of Minnesota and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board to develop a planting plan that would add at least 16 new types of trees to Dean Park that will come from the research work done at the University of Minnesota's St. Paul campus. Half of the trees will be decent sized trees that will be staked and half will be small trees planted using new technology of "tree tubes." Click here to read more about the tree tube technology.
