Volunteer planting day at Streetcar Park

If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to help out along the Lake Links Trail, here it is! The Friends of Streetcar Park invite you to join them for a Planting Day on Thursday, July 31, 2–5 p.m. at Streetcar Park, located at the intersection of Quail St. and Briarwood Ave. in Mahtomedi. 

Volunteers will be planting a children's berry patch and a variety of native plants throughout the park. Tools will be provided, but please wear sturdy shoes and work gloves, and be ready to dig and get dirty. Kids and families are welcome! Feel free to join the fun for whatever time you have available. For more information, contact Cindy at cindyras49@gmail.com.

In related news, the group is continuing to encourage donations for the natural playground slide installation. The fundraiser is currently at 67% of the goal – with your help, they can get this over the line and wrap up the project this summer or fall. Learn more and donate here >>
