Buckthorn Removal Event
Members of the Mendota Heights Natural Resources Commission, together with resident
volunteers, braved the cold last Saturday to remove buckthorn from Valley Park. Buckthorn
is an invasive woody plant that invades and out-competes native vegetation, creating
increased erosion and shading out native plant, shrub, and tree species. During the event,
volunteers removed buckthorn from an approximate 8,000 square foot area, south of the
Marie Avenue pedestrian underpass and adjacent to the pedestrian trail.

Winter Reminders: Snow
Removal
With the arrival of snowy weather, Streets Maintenance
crews are at work creating safe and passable City streets
for motorists and pedestrians.
Here's how you can help:
When out for a walk or a run, wear bright colored
clothing and give plow drivers a wave to be sure they
see you.
When taking out the trash, be sure to place the
bins behind the curb line and try not to leave them out
longer than necessary, so your street can be plowed
curb-to-curb.
When shoveling, be sure to clear snow and ice around storm drains and fire
hydrants.
Remember, parking is prohibited on City streets from 2-6 a.m.
*Friday News will not be sent out next week due to the Thanksgiving holiday, but will return
on December 2, 2022.
