Earth Day, April 22, was celebrated in style at College Park. Third-grade students from
St. Anthony Park Elementary School planted trees that will replace those lost in last August’s storm.
Also on hand were St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman and Parks and Recreation Director Bob Bierscheid, as well as representatives from the St. Anthony Park Community Foundation and the St. Anthony Park Garden Club. Local resident and arborist Mary Maguire Lerman described how the replacement species were selected.
