Building Bridges/Breaking Bread Event Moved Indoors Tonight Due to Weather

By

Due to a forecast including likely rain and thunderstorms throughout virtually all of today we will be going with our RAIN PLAN! Join us at Sabathani Community Center, 2nd floor, 310 E 38th Street, located 1 block east of the bridge on 38th St.

Don’t fret, other than a change of locale the event will be just as lively and engaging as it was last year! And all the food vendors are still on board so get excited for a cross cultural feast from local restaurants, eateries, and grocers that is delicious and abundant as well as appropriate from vegan to carnivore and considerate of various allergies and dietary concerns.

For more information, including specific food vendors and menu items,  visit the Facebook event.

Kingfield Citizen Pruners Hit the Streets this Saturday!

By

A handful of Kingfield residents were trained last year by the MPLS Park Board Forestry Department and the U of M on pruning trees and passed our exam to be official, card-carrying Citizen Pruners. We receive a card and can prune public trees on our own time but also join organized pruning events throughout the year, which is what we will be doing on the streets in Kingfield on Saturday. Many of us in Kingfield also care for our new public orchard located in MLK Park.

If you have a tree that needs particular attention (boulevard or public property only!) message us at info@kingfield.org and let us know the address it is located at. We will try to create a route to include it. You can also post a photo and the address of the offending “sucker-is” tree on our Facebook page.

KFNA is working to set up another Citizen Pruner Training for September; it occurs over two dates: an evening classroom session and a hands-on Saturday morning session. If you might be interested in joining the team send us a message and we will send you the dates when they are confirmed!
