A Success Story...

Project SOS “Save Our Shade”: DAPA with Doug Petersen’s leadership kept the community involvement and betterment Model working in the Northeast Minneapolis of Minnesota in 1976 with Project SOS...“Save Our Shade.”

This event was one Saturday during the summer when over 500 volunteers screen disabled residents and community and park lands for planting over 10,000 pine and deciduous trees. Many yard and boulevard trees had been eliminated by Dutch Elm Disease.

With the Mpls Park Department collaboration and assistance we also worked together to develop the “Adopt-A-Tree” Program, where the residents on boulevard streets kept water their city owned trees. This is another program that has lasted over the years and very empowering for self and community enrichment.
