Minneapolis Parks-#1 for second year

[Tom Dunlap]

It's nice to see my hometown, and now employer, get this recognition

Were in the middle of spring planting season. 5k trees planted now about 2k more in the fall. This will offset the losses from storms and future EAB losses

Well done, Tom! Good place to be.

A great system of parks, making the Twin Cities the most scenic and runner-friendly urban marathon course in the nation!

But planting only offsets mature tree loss when the babies become adults; ~30 years. Keep up the good work!

But its a start!
