*Valley Park Eagle Scout Pollinator Planting Project *
You may notice a new addition to Valley Park. Mendota Heights resident Ben Moe completed his Eagle Scout Service project by planting a pollinator garden in north Valley Park, along the trail just south of Bluff Circle. The planting event took place last Thursday, as scouts and volunteers planted over 140 native flowers, grasses, sedges and shrubs.
The project will help create important pollinator habitat in Valley Park and Mendota Heights. To learn more about the project and more about pollinators, Ben has created a QR code for park visitors!

Street Sweeping
Fall Street Sweeping
To prevent sediment from entering the City?s storm drains, street sweeping is conducted in the spring and fall. This year, fall street sweeping began Monday, Nov. 6 and should wrap up by the end of the week. You can help by moving vehicles from the street and keeping trash cans behind the curb line. Remember, it is illegal to place yard waste and debris onto City streets.

Palmer Amaranth
Weed of the Month: Palmer Amaranth
Palmer Amaranth ("Amaranthus palmeri") is an annual plant native to the arid southwestern U.S. and northwestern Mexico, which was accidentally introduced to the southeastern U.S.?
Palmer Amaranth is hard to control once it is established, as it has developed resistance to many herbicides. Prevention is the best management approach, when small populations can be identified early and hand-pulled.
