Como Lakeshore Restoration

We've been removing invasive and overgrown trees, like buckthorn, from Como’s lakeshore. The removal will allow us to reintroduce native species like oak trees, prairie grasses, and wildflowers. These native species all work to reduce soil erosion, provide diverse wildlife habitats, and improve lake water quality. This lakeshore restoration work was identified in the 2022 Como Lakeshore Management Plan and is a joint effort between CRWD and Saint Paul Parks and Recreation.

We will have the brush piles removed as the weather allows. Thank you for your patience as we improve Como’s lakeshore areas!

Spring Cleaning

Spring rain brings all the gunk to the drains. Spend a few minutes clearing your nearby drains to keep the rainwater flowing, and remove leaves, trash, and other debris before it gets carried to our local lakes and the Mississippi River.
