<br />Fun facts about unique trees being planted, healthy tree canopy grants awarded to cities, and fall planting feature <br /> <br />Forestry updates from Hennepin County <br /> <br />Tree plantings help create a more <br />diverse and resilient urban forest <br />On Saturday, October 26, Hennepin County foresters and community volunteers <br />will plant more than 60 trees along New Brighton Boulevard and in Trillium Park in <br />St. Anthony. This project is a perfect example of how the county is addressing the <br />threat of emerald ash borer and increasing the diversity and resiliency of the <br />county’s tree canopy. <br />Some of the trees are being planted to replace ash trees that have been <br />proactively removed before they become infested with emerald ash borer. Others <br />are being planted to add trees to a currently barren stretch of roadway. <br />Before the planting, the road corridor had about 70 trees of 8 different species. <br />After the planting, the roadway will have 117 trees of 22 different species!
