36th Ave. GREEN UP!
The Project
'36th Ave Green Up' was a community tree planting initiative intended to creatively promote traffic calming and create a tree canopy over 36th Avenue's sidewalks and roadways.
Members of 36th ART engaged with 30 neighbors around 36th Avenue to receive free trees and planting, courtesy of our community partner Tree Trust, and financial sponsor, Takeda Pharmeceutical.
In the end, 75 new trees were delivered and planted in the spring and fall of 2024. Tree Trust did a marvelous job arranging volunteers from Takeda and the University of Minnesota Forestry Club.
We especially look forward to watching the large shade trees grow, which will bring shade to our hot summer walks and bike rides along the avenue.
75 new trees were planted!
