The East Metro Chamber of Commerce issued an action alert warning that <br />Mississippi River development would be limited by the plan and called on <br />members to rally to protect commercial interests along the river. The Chamber's <br />interests may not be consistent with those of park lovers. Developers will have <br />an impact on the plan. The question is, will parks people have as clear and strong <br />a voice? If you would like to have input into this process or want to receive a <br />newsletter about the progress of the plan, Contact the National Park Service at <br />290-4160. <br />�rees need a hand... <br />yours <br />�-ee sale returns <br />Membership <br />The Friends of Parks and Trails <br />in St� Paul and Ramsey County <br />1621 Beechwood Avenue <br />St. Paul, MN 55116 <br />Sun scald is deadly for many young, thin barked trees. Repeated freeze/thaw <br />cycles in spring cause bark to split and peal. Tree wrap is ineffective in preventing this <br />type of damage although it can protect against rodents. The best protection is to shade <br />the trunk to prevent excess heating. Cloth fastened to stakes a few inches from the trunk <br />allows air to circulate, keeping the tree cool. If you also use tree wrap, remove it in the <br />spring. Trees need protection until they are eight or ten years old and have sturdy, <br />furrowed bark. <br />Thousands of healthy, bare root trees were purchased at the 1992 Friends <br />tree sale. Ourfriends liked what theybought and the income from the sale helped <br />us balance our modest budget. We declared it a preat success and are planning <br />an expanded sale next spring. We plan to sell Spring Snow, Red Splendor and <br />Weeping crab, Little Leaf Linden, Northwood Maple, Colorado and Black Hills <br />Spruce, Honey Locus, Japanese Tree Lilac, and two shrubs, Amur Maple and <br />Miss Kim Lilac. Begin planning your spring planting now with the tree sale in <br />mind. <br />Not a member yet? Really? Be a Friend. Join today. Memberships from <br />$20 to the Ross Perot level.
