Adopt a Baby Tree
Thanks to the St. Anthony Park Community Foundation and the City of St. Paul, many of the College Park trees lost in last August's storm will be replaced. In total, 22 new trees will be planted this spring in College Park! In order to thrive, these trees need your help. While the city does water the trees if there is severe drought, the trees will flourish if they are watered more regularly in dry times. If you sign up to Adopt a Baby Tree or two in College Park, you will be responsible for watering your tree(s) when necessary. A team leader will send an e-mail to all adopters when your tree needs watering. Please contact Renee at renee@sapcc.org or 651-649-5992 if you are interested.

Rock-Tenn Community Advisory Panel
The Rock-Tenn Community Advisory Panel (RCAP) is made up of fifteen community representatives advising on a study of renewable energy choices to fuel Rock-Tenn’s paper recycling operations in St. Paul. The Panelists will learn about fuels, technologies and public health in order to recommend the best solution with the least environmental impact to fuel Rock-Tenn's paper recycling operations.
