Klm Langfield (Pack 376), Paula Staples and Wila Heger's Girl Scouts participated with 4H groups - "Lamplighters" (Gayl¢ Rogers), "Cheerful Chuggers" (Kathi Peterson), "Ramsey Road Runners" (Glen Hardin) and Barb Yenish in tree planting and roadside litter pick-up. Hundreds of trees were planted at City Hall and Brookwiew Park after the Arbor Da3' Ceremony, Jim Strosheim (B.S.A. #362) volunteered to spread wood chips around the seedlings planted at City Hall. More than half of last year's plantings survived the drought, and the chips will help protect their roots from the summer heat and winter cold. The City of Ramsey's Decenualized Brush Chipping Program designated 5 drop-off sites for material under 5" diameter. The City Hall site received approximately 4(7 cubic yards, River's Bend Park about 10 cubic yards, Titterud Park about 60 cubic yards, Central Park about 100 cubic yards and Cross of Hope about 10 cubic yards. This is a total of 220 cubic yards of brush. Residents who have dead trees and brush are encouraged to make application ~or the curbside chipping program (the application form is on the last page of the Ramsey Resident newsletter). The Anoka County diseased wood and yard waste drop-off site at 133rd and Hanson Blvd. in Coon Rapids is open to residents Monday, Wednesday and Friday from Noon to 7:30 p.m., Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday Noon to 5:00 p.m. Ramsey's Keep America Beautiful Committee has set Saturday, May 4, 1991 as next year's Clean- Up Day.
