Volunteers planted 120 new trees in empty boulevards in Rochester on Saturday morning
This morning, this group of amazing volunteers planted 121 trees along the Elmcroft Park neighborhood boulevards to celebrate Earth Month. What a team! Thanks to our amazing volunteers including the Citizen Foresters and our partners: Rochester Park & Recreation, Maier Tree & Lawn, Sargent's Gardens Inc. Conservation Corps Minnesota & Iowa, and Conservation Minnesota.
A BIG green thank you to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for picking up 1.2 miles of roadway - 11th AVE SW ROW - N of County RD 16 SW to 60th ST SW. Have you gotten your trash bags yet for the Litter Bit Better pickup?
Wow! We now have had the MOST Litter Bit Better (LBB) registrations since the program started in 2007! Way to go, Rochester volunteers! ![]()
LBB pickup is April 27-May 5. Green trash and blue recycling bags are available for pick up at the Government Center, near the City Hall Rotunda entrance, and at the Development Services & Infrastructure Center; bags are located at the non-police entrance outside next to the fish sculpture. ![]()
