Forester Wriskey has always taken <br /> the time to visit with school groups and assist them with a tree planting project during the month that <br /> Arbor Day is held. Seedlings will be planted by Pinewood School students in Greenfield Park. <br /> Tree City USA is an important designation to uphold because many annual grants are available to <br /> cities that follow Tree City USA requirements. The City of Mounds View has enjoyed annual grants <br /> that provide for the replacement of trees that are removed due to disease. <br /> • Staff requests City Council to adopt resolution no. 5217 proclaiming May 6 as Arbor Day. <br /> • <br />
