Know Your Como: Call to Como Park Community Action
The number of people participating in the Como Park Cleanup events is progressively increasing, with each person giving the most valuable, most meaningful, and most precious thing possible – their time.
At our Lake Como Cleanup events, volunteers meet at the Pavilion to get tools, supplies and have a refreshment. Then they walk along the lake pedestrian paths or the shoreline and pick up trash.
Recorded Presentation: Park Volunteering – 5/3/2023
On May 3, 2023, the D10 Environment committee welcomed Tricia Wherle, Saint Paul Parks and Recreation Volunteer Coordinator, to share about volunteer opportunities in Como Park and elsewhere.
Committee Purpose
The Environment Committee works to maintain, protect, and improve the environment of the District 10. This work has included instigating the creation of the Capitol Region Watershed District, initially to improve the water quality of Lake Como, assisting the St. Paul Parks and recreation department in Como Park and Como Lake Clean-Up events, including removing buckthorn within Como Park and creation and oversight of the Como Woodland Outdoor Classroom. The committee acts as a liaison between the community, District 10, government and regulatory agencies, and private businesses to improve the environment.
