both.”

PROJECT
OVERVIEW
The District 10 Environment
Committee and the Saint Paul Audubon Society are working
on a proposal for a woodland restoration and “outdoor
classroom” project focused on the wooded area
in Como Park south of Horton and just east of Hamline
Avenues.
For
the past several years, we have been working in this
area with the St. Paul Parks Division’s EcoPartners
staff on trash pickup and removal of buckthorn and illegal
BMX bike jumps. We recently began to formulate ideas
about taking advantage of the site’s natural and
historic features for environmental education purposes.
