LOCAL STORY
State seeks workers for GreenCorps
(St. Paul, MN)- The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has launched GreenCorps, an ambitious program to recruit workers for a variety of environmental initiatives across the state. The program is an off-shoot of AmeriCorps, the nation's largest paid community service program. The urban forestry program will begin work on a statewide tree inventory to help assist officials with addressing the outbreak of emerald ash borer, a foreign beetle responsible for the decimation of many ash trees throughout Minnesota.
