Dedicated to Community Environmental Education and Stewardship

Instead of thinking of nature as being something that’s “out there,” what if we saw our yards as a crucial 

part of the environment? What if the place where we live, combined with others’ yards, our community boulevards, parks, open spaces, schoolyards, businesses, and places of worship became, collectively, a well-functioning ecosystem? Could thoughtful environmental stewardship of these places have an important impact on the land and wildlife? We think it would.

And that’s why Arden Hills Greening–inspired by Friends of Minnetonka Parks and Neighborhood Greening–was created. As a group of Arden Hills residents, our focus is to harness the spirit of community to make small but impactful efforts that will make a greener neighborhood for both humans and wildlife.

Do you have buckthorn and you're not sure what to do about it? Join us for our first hands-on workshop on May 17th. Since it will be at a private residence (in Arden Hills), the address will be emailed to everyone who registers prior to the event. A $5 donation is being requested to help support our park restoration efforts. Click the button below to sign up.
