St. Louis Park Tree Sale
The tree canopy of St. Louis Park's private properties is dwindling. For every new tree residents plant, five more trees are lost to storms, pests, and disease.
In 2009, the City of St. Louis Park has partnered with the St. Louis Park Chapter League of Women Voters and Tree Trust to make it affordable for you to reforest your own yard. Please do your part to restore the city's tree canopy by planting one of these trees this May.
