MINNESOTA <br /> <br />EXTENSION SERVICE <br /> <br />UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA <br />ANOKA COUNTY <br />Anoka County Extension Office <br />Activities Center <br />550 Bunker Lake Boulevard <br />Anoka. Minnesota 55304 <br /> <br />{612) 755-1280 <br /> <br />HAR 2 9 1991 <br /> <br />March 27, 1991 <br /> <br />Dear Concerned Tree Person: <br /> <br />Trees, woods, parks and natural areas are an important feature of Anoka County. But, <br />Anoka county is faced with one of the biggest natural resource crisis in it's history. The <br />county is losing it's forests. Drought over the past few years has killed the canopies of our <br />pine and oak forests. In addition, Anoka County has more oak wilt infection pockets <br />than anywhere else in the world. As the county continues to grow these problems are <br />magnified and construction damage becomes evident. <br /> <br />In an effort to address these issues we are organizing the Anoka County Tree Board. <br />This volunteer tree board will bring continuity, share educational information, and <br />identify forestry issues in communities. Issues like wood use, potential sources of funding <br />and tree planting activities will also be topics of interest. We are fortunate to have A1 <br />Sproessig, Chairman of the Sherburne County Tree Board helping our advisory council. <br />The Sherburne County Tree Board has been very successful, and we will be able to learn <br />from their experiences. <br /> <br />To get the tree board started we ask that you attend the initial organizational meeting. <br /> <br />The meeting will be held: <br /> <br />When: April 23, 1991 <br /> <br />Where: <br /> <br />Bunker Hills Activity Center <br />Room A <br />550 Bunker Lake Blvd. NW <br />Anoka, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Time: 7:00 - 8:30 pm <br /> <br />UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA.
