It’s time to
free the trees!

Thousands of saplings planted since the Ham Lake fire continue to sprout up this spring, but faster-growing vegetation can crowd out the sun. You can help clear it away during this festive weekend of walks, talks, work and wilderness. You’ll also enjoy a picnic, tree releasing, a
thank-you dinner and a dance.
