li <br /> MEMO TO: NEW BRIGHTON BULLETIN <br /> FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR <br /> PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY • <br /> DATE: AUGUST 3, 1988 <br /> SUBJECT: PRESS RELEASE <br /> -FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE- <br /> WATER A PARK TREE <br /> Calling all volunteers ! ! The City of Mounds View is requesting citizens to <br /> help water trees in local parks. Due to drought conditions, sandy soils and <br /> warm winds, the neighborhood park trees are stressed to the limit. They need <br /> water on a daily basis. <br /> You can help by choosing a particular tree and watering it on a daily basis. <br /> These parks have water sources : <br /> Woodcrest Park <br /> Lambert Park <br /> Greenfield Park • <br /> Groveland Park <br /> Silver View Park <br /> Hillview Park <br /> Random Park <br /> Each of these parks have fire hydrants which have hoses attached. These hoses <br /> can be used to fill buckets or pails with water. Simply turn on the faucet <br /> and fill your bucket. Remember to turn off the faucet! Take the water to <br /> your chosen tree and pour the water slowly near the base of the tree. Be <br /> sure to let the water soak into the ground. Several pail-fulls on a daily <br /> basis will help save the tree. <br /> Flower beds located under park signs also need daily watering. This will <br /> ensure the beauty of the flowers until frost. <br /> You can make a difference. Thank you for "watering a park tree". <br /> For further information call 784-3055. <br /> -END OF PRESS RELEASE- <br /> • <br />
