 And here is another easy way to invest in your urban forest:
Great River Greening is all about harnessing the green intentions of thousands of individuals—our volunteers and our donors. We are now a member of the national network of tree “banks.”  Simply visit our website www.greatrivegreening.org or www.itreebank.org to donate online. The Foo Fighters rock band, flexing its environmental muscle, already donated a portion of proceeds to local planting from ticket auctions for premium seats on their recent North American tour. The program offers a pro-active way for anyone, anywhere to support local nonprofit "branches." Dollar for dollar, there is no better investment in the local environment.   

New Board members add strength to our Greening effort!!
We are pleased to announce the addition of board members Mark Fristch, Regulatory & Government Affairs, Xcel Energy; Bob Bieraugel, Assistant VP for Properties & Community Relations, Aggregate Industries; and Laurie Martinson, Deputy Commissioner, DNR.
