Albert Lea Parks Department staff and members from Girl Scouts Troop 44837 helped plant trees along in the western part of Edgewater Park. The group planted about 200 different trees, such as aspen, bur oak, Princeton elm, swamp white oak and plum. The city each year sponsors an Arbor Day tree planting, often reaching out to get Scouts, schools and day care centers involved. In back from left are Ean Bangert and Jessica Santee.
