The mini-forest partnership in Rondo was a great opportunity for community members to come together and foster connections. On May 3 and 4, 2024, over 80 volunteers from Maxfield Elementary, Engineers Without Borders USA, Ramsey County Master Gardeners, and the surrounding neighborhood joined forces to assist Renewing the Countryside, Urban Farm and Garden Alliance, Great River Greening, and the DNR in planting 450 seedlings at Pilgrim Baptist Church - St. Paul, MN. Despite the rain on the second day, spirits remained high. Throughout the summer, dedicated crews will water the trees and remove weeds to help establish the mini-forest. This project was made possible thanks to funding from the DNR and the U.S. Forest Service.
