Five-Star Restoration Program Descriptions

Lions Levee Park Observation Station
St. Paul Park, MN

Marathon Ashland Petroleum, LLC and a Community Advisory Panel consisting of City of St. Paul Park, the Lions Club, The Minnesota Conservation Corp and the Multiple Sclerosis Society has completed a project restoring the habitat value of a local park. Local Youth Corps have removed buckhorn and other nuisance vegetation from a community park, and replanted it with native species. A 12x12 foot viewing platform with views of the Mississippi River and a trail with sinage explaining the history of the site and all its vegetations have been constructed. The City has provided the lighting for the approach sidewalk and parking lot and the Multiple Sclerosis Society donated funds for the construction of ramps for handicap-access.
