The Elliot Park Neighborhood was the focal point for community greening efforts last Friday. Dedicated volunteers contributed to enhancing the neighborhood's aesthetics by planting new trees in parks and along the streets. Thank you so much to everyone who volunteered their Friday to help bring some extra green to Minneapolis!

Last week I presented at the Mpls Downtown Improvement District's "Learning Tuesday." It's always a pleasure to connect with residents and professionals on the environmental and infrastructure impacts of salt/chloride, and how to reduce those impacts. Of course, I shared about the novel Low Salt Design program that my team and I at Bolton & Menk, Inc. are so proud of. It was an extra bonus to see my fellow GreenCorps alum and current Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and City of Minneapolis GreenCorps members. Thank you for the invitation, Ella Graham!
