Trees properly planted to day will add benefits to our community for many, many <br />years. <br /> <br />Thank you for supporting this legislation in the Senate. We look forward to continuing a strong <br />community partnership for forest ecosystem health program in Minnesota. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br /> <br />Bruce Bacon <br />Environmentalist <br /> <br />CC: <br /> <br />Kathy Tingelstad, District 50B Representative <br />Dennis Berg, Anoka County Commissioner <br />Natalie Haas Steffen, District 9 Metropolitan Council Representative..__. <br />M.
