Inside <br />Arden Hills, MN . 55112-5734 <br />Groundbreaking Ceremony at Bethel <br />Reminder to License Pets <br />Recent City Council Action <br />Composting Food Scraps <br />On Sunday May 2, members of <br />Students for Climate Awareness <br />gave out red pine seedlings to <br />the public at the Mounds View <br />High School. The Tree Drive was <br />created with the intention to get <br />more people outside and engaged <br />with the environment, especially <br />in honor of Arbor Day. The club <br />received 250 red pine seedlings <br />by an anonymous donor; some of <br />these seedlings were planted by <br />the club a couple of days before <br />the Tree Drive in the city of <br />Mounds View. <br />Student-Led Club Grows Climate Awareness <br />“To me, environmental activism is getting out and making a <br />difference—no matter how small. It’s safe to say that we <br />definitely accomplished that! Quite a few people showed up,  <br />grabbed a tree or two, and gave it a permanent home. Knowing  <br />the good those trees will do is encouraging, to say the least. <br />COVID really destabilized our club and we (the presidents)  <br />struggled to find ways to keep our members engaged. During  <br />the summer months and the 2021–22 school year, we hope to  <br />continue with these events and find even bigger and better  <br />opportunities to support the betterment of our planet.”  <br />—Ava Frey, co-president along with Garima Khatiwada of <br />Students for Climate Awareness <br />→ <br />Members of Students for Climate <br />Awareness pose with some of the <br />seedlings offered in their spring Tree <br />Drive. <br />Top row, left to right: Hazel Holmdahl, <br />Charlotte Deibert, Alexandra Rylander, <br />Emily Fatkhiyev, and Jessica Tran. <br />Bottom row, left to right: Ava Frey, <br />Garima Khatiwada, Jooha Kim, and <br />Sierra Peacock.
