2010 Arbor Day Planning:
Jill updated the commission on the event. Groups contacted so far:
Excelsior Elementary, Chaska HS Key Club, Rotary Club. Yet to be contacted: scout troops,
elementary schools, and Chanhassen athletic association. On the day of the event the
Environmental and Park and Rec. commissioners will need to help with the following jobs:
event program, sign up table, planting supervisor, kid’s activities, photographer, and
refreshments. It was suggested that a poster showing Chanhassen with and without trees should
be made and at the event. One of the kid’s activities could be a quiz sheet asking ‘what makes
this or that tree a good choice for Chanhassen.’ Name tags will be needed for all of the
commissioners. The event will be held rain or shine and only cancelled due to lightning. The
program should be videotaped so that it could be shown on the cable channel. Seedlings will be
given away to all participants. Rewards for completing the kid activities could be Frisbees,
water bottles, or something similar.
General Discussion:
The Environmental Commission will meet with the city council on March
22.
The next meeting will be moved to Wed., April 14 at 6:00 pm.
Meeting adjourned at approximately 8:30 PM.
