- Upcoming Events
- Earth Month Energy Buffet at the Community Center, Morris Model Energy panels and tabling style conversations, April 16th 5:30-7:30pm.
- Sea of Grass event on April 17th
- Arbor Month Community Tree Planting project will be May 20 (rain date May 26) at Kjenstad Park (see flyer attached). We need lots of people to help plant, but also volunteers who would like to do other things, or just cheer us on.

- Announcements
- Riverview Expansion - March 12th Deadline! (actually a April deadline now) - Land Stewardship Project
- The City of Morris Tree Giveaway will be May 15-16 at the City Shops (see 2 items attached). The Tree Board’s goal is to get as many trees in the ground – and being cared for – as possible in preparation for the arrival of Emerald Ash Borer. Also, please remember as the season approaches – don’t bring any outside firewood into Morris. It may harbor tiny EAB larvae. We’re trying to delay the onset of EAB as long as possible.
