Tree Sponsorship Project
Replanting for the future!
The Goodhue County Fairgrounds faced a significant loss due to the emerald ash borer infestation, resulting in the removal of 30 trees. This loss not only affected the aesthetics and environment of the fairgrounds but also required a significant undertaking to restore the fairgrounds. In response, a concerted effort to seek sponsorships for tree replacement has been initiated.
This initiative focuses on attracting local businesses and individual donors to contribute to the cause. The sponsorship program is designed to offer various levels of support, allowing contributors to sponsor the planting of new trees. Each sponsored tree is recognized with a plaque or marker, acknowledging the sponsor’s contribution to the revitalization of the fairgrounds.
