Could YOU be a Re-Leafer?

If so, we could use your donation to the Parks Foundation "Northside Treecovery Program," and help us raise funds for 400 replacement trees to help residents in four neighborhoods "treecover" from the May 2011 twister that tore across several miles of Minneapolis.

Here are five tips for identifying if you, or someone you know, may “arbor” a secret passion for trees:

  1. You like looking at trees. You may not notice every tree, everywhere, all the time, but you sometimes find yourself appreciating the natural grace and grandeur of trees when looking out a window or taking a walk.
  2. One tree isn’t enough for you. While others may be satisfied with one tree in their yard, you’re happiest surrounded by many trees, for example lining the city’s streets or clustered in parks.
  3. You enjoy 50 shades of green. You may have a favorite species – like Lindens or Maples – but you don’t limit your enjoyment to just one. Instead, you appreciate a diversity of deciduous and evergreen species, from shrubby Lilacs to winsome White Pines.
  4. You’re sappy about saplings. There’s no substitute for the strong-trunked stature and broad canopy of a mature tree. Still, there’s something about the fresh, fast-growing potential of a sapling that just keeps you planting and replanting.
  5. You put your money where your roots are. Re-Leafers can’t help but cultivate their “habitats.” MplsParksFoundation.org is one source many seek out to propagate their tax-deductible tree giving with like-minded “arborphiles.”

Please select a level of "Re-Leaf" below to help us on our Treecovery program.

    The rebirth of the North Mpls neighborhoods damaged by the tornado is important to the entire city.

    When we first moved here, the parks and park programs/kids teams got us connected to our neighbors and community. Love our parks.

    The River First plan is spectacular. Thanks to all who made it possible - it might not materialize for another 30-60 years - but it is a gem. Long live the natural riverfront at B F Nelson, SchererBros site and Boom Island!
