Did you know that fruit trees, and many other species are beneficial pollinators? The Minneapolis Park Board Forestry Department is one of our partners on our pollinator pathway program and is planting over 400 trees through the neighborhoods of Lyndale, Kingfield, and Tangletown! They need all of our help to keep these young trees alive, the first three years of root development and consistent watering are critical for a trees survival, especially those growing out on our boulevards. If you have a new tree in front of your home please take the pledge to water it weekly—one hour at the base of the tree with your hose is all it needs for a strong start.

Mark your calendar for the weekly water date (any consistent day of the week that works for you will be fine with your new boulevard-bound friend!) and help Kingfield stay green!

Dear Neighbors–

The weather is so windy that it is going to make it too hard to walk and hear each other tonight.  We are delaying this walk until next Thursday April 21st, same time and same place. Meet at 7 PM on the corner of 40th and Grand NEXT week and we will walk south to 46th and enjoy the avenue with representatives from Minneapolis Public Works.
Thank you!

A slow sap year–but that didn’t bother Kingfield’s pancake lovers!

By

1st Annual Kingfield Community Pancake Breakfast was a huge success! 

The sap is running late this year, but that didn’t stop our Tapping Team from demonstrating the fire build and sap boil process to over 100 neighbors who joined in on the first annual Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser, supporting this great partnership and programming of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park and the Kingfield Neighborhood Association.

Sap has just really started running so be on the look-out for the boiling stoves this week to be working on the northern side of the park building near the “cabin” … and feel free to stop and say “hi” and hang out at the fire with our Tapping Team Volunteers!
