On Saturday, Oct. 9, Tree Trust gave 20 community volunteers the tools and training they needed to plant 38 trees in Burnsville’s Rudy Kraemer Nature Preserve. Burnsville Mayor Elizabeth Kautz attended the planting to support volunteers and teach them about the Rudy Kraemer Nature Preserve.
Rudy Kraemer Nature Preserve is a 75-acre park that offers a walking trail for Burnsville’s 60,000 residents. It had been a goal of the city’s to line the walking path with trees and thanks to a grant from the Xcel Energy Foundation the goal was finally realized. The grant from the Xcel Energy Foundation was awarded to Tree Trust’s Community Forestry program. Trees planted included Swamp White Oak, disease resistant elm, River Birch, hackberry and Bur Oak.
