Night to Unite encourages <br />law enforcement and communities to <br />strengthen neighborhoods by getting <br />to know one another. The annual event <br />brings community involvement one step <br />closer to help promote safety and com- <br />munication within our city blocks. <br />Above: City Councilmember Brenda Holden <br />(center) visited with residents on Night to Unite. <br />At left: Ramsey County Deputy Sheriff Brian <br />Chelstrom attended a neighborhood gathering. <br />Floral Park becomes a Monarch WaystationEach fall, hundreds of millions of <br />monarch butterflies migrate from the <br />United States and Canada to Mexico and <br />California where they wait out the winter <br />until conditions favor a return flight in the <br />spring. The monarch migration is threat- <br />ened by habitat loss in North America. <br />Why We Are Concerned <br />Milkweeds and nectar sources are declin- <br />ing due to development and the wide- <br />spread use of herbicides in croplands, <br />pastures and roadsides. Because 90 percent <br />of all milkweed/monarch habitats occur <br />within the agricultural landscape, farm <br />practices have the potential to strongly <br />influence monarch populations as do ge- <br />netically modified crops and development <br />projects that consume habitat. <br />Monarch Waystations <br />Monarch Waystations are places that pro- <br />vide resources necessary for monarchs to <br />produce successive generations and sustain <br />their migration. <br /> <br />Anne Dooley, an Arden Hills resident, has <br />been raising monarch butterflies for many <br />years and releases them into the wild. She <br />was out walking one day and found the <br />Floral Park gardens that Dr. Bob Mullin <br />and many volunteers have been working <br />hard to restore. Anne thought it was a <br />perfect place to release the butterflies, and <br />Floral Park became a designated Mon- <br />arch Waystation. By creating a Monarch <br />Waystation in Arden Hills, the City is <br />contributing to monarch conservation, an <br />effort that will help assure the preservation <br />of the species and the continuation of the <br />monarch migration. <br />At left: Arden Hills’ Floral Park, 1423 Floral Drive <br />West, is a Monarch Waystation.
