Celebrate Earth Day with Mississippi Park Connection

Mississippi Park Connection and the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area

What have we learned over the past four years? What is next for the forest canopy? How will climate change impact our forests?

Four years ago, Mississippi Park Connection pledged to plant 15,000 trees to address devastating gaps in the forest canopy caused by Emerald Ash Borer. In 2020, we planned and planted the first climate-change adaptation experiment in an urban forest in America. This fall, we will reach our goal and plant the 15,000th tree!Join Environmental Stewardship and Volunteer Manager Mary Hammes for a special virtual event on Earth Day where she will discuss successes from the campaign and introduce our project partners, Marcella Windmuller-Campione, a forestry professor at the University of Minnesota and Leslie Brandt, a climate scientist from the Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science and the U.S. Forest Service.What have we learned over the past four years? What is next for the forest canopy? How will climate change impact our forests? Come away from the event with hope for the future of our urban forest canopy!This is a free event. An optional donation will support tree planting and forestry work along the Mississippi River.
