Environmental Expo & Tree Sale

Each spring, in recognition of Earth Day and Arbor Day, the City of Ramsey sponsors an Environmental Expo & Tree Sale.  The 2010 event will be held at the Municipal Center (7550 Sunwood Dr NW) on Saturday, May 1, from 9am to 2pm.  There are a number of exhibitors and displays focusing on a wide range of environmental topics.  Past exhibitors have included the U of MN Raptor Center, the Herpetological Society of MN, Anoka Conservation District, the Oliver Kelly Farm, Connexus Energy, ACE Solid Waste, and many more.  If you, or your ‘green’ organization, are interested in participating in this event, please fill out the reservation form and return it to Chris Anderson in the Community Development department.

The Environmental Expo also includes various presentations that focus on certain aspects of the environment.  There is no cost to attend these educational presentations and at the end of each presentation attendees have a chance of winning a tree!  Presentations will be ongoing throughout the event so make sure to stop by the Council Chambers to listen in.

Local nurseries are on hand with an array of trees, shrubs, and perennials available for purchase at great prices!  Residents also have an opportunity to ‘pre-order’ select varieties of bareroot and potted trees and shrubs at reduced prices, thanks to a partnership with Green Valley Greenhouse, Hostas and More, and Maple Leaf Landscaping.  For pricing, available species, and order form, please click here.

Ramsey's "Night to Unite" is Tuesday, August 3, 2010!
Formerly known as National Night Out, the new "Night to Unite" will continue to be held on the first Tuesday in August and it is a great way to get your neighbors together and give criminals a going away party!  Planning a celebration event in your neighborhood can be as simple as turning on the outside lights of your house, locking your door and inviting your neighbors over to your front yard.  In some neighborhoods, these celebrations have evolved into block parties, cook outs, potlucks, kiddie carnivals and bike/tractor parades.  For more information or for registration materials, click here!
