Dear SOS Supporter,


Thank you to many of you who sent in your comments regarding the Saint Paul Tree Preservation Policy introduced at a city council meeting in January by Council Member Rebecca Noecker. She will now host an online community conversation with city leaders at 1 p.m., Monday, February 10. You have no obligation to speak. Listening to what city leadership has to say will be helpful. And we believe the number of interested, tax-paying constituents who log on also sends a message. Here's the link and passcode to join the meeting.

Meeting ID: 227 954 755 027 Passcode: hT2qb34K


If you cannot join the online conversation, your comments emailed to city hall make an impact!! Do not underestimate the value of constituents speaking up. We know the city is at least tracking how many comments are received ;) We have all the city hall contacts on the website:

Send your comments to your Saint Paul Council Members and City Hall Leadership: Public Works Director Sean Kershaw, Parks and Recreation Director Andy Rodriquez, and Forestry Manager, Rachel Jongeward. A vote could be as soon as February 26, 2025.
