Tell us your flooding stories! Have you seen intersections in Vadnais Heights flooded after a storm? Does your yard hold water for 48 hours+ after a lot of rain? Tell us about flooding in Vadnais Heights! Head to cityvadnaisheights.com/ flood to put your stories on the map. Leave the Leaves! While "cleaning up" leaf litter, dead plant stems, and sticks may seem like the neighborly thing to do, these actions are negatively impacting some of our most important neighbors, our pollinators. Pollinators and beneficial insects need homes to sleep or lay eggs in during winter. Leave the Leaves, sticks, and twigs this fall and welcome pollinators back into your yard. f Not a property owner but passionate about pollinators? Talk to your property management about installing native plantings. Native plantings can reduce maintenance costs (including irrigation and mowing!), protect pollinators, and provide amenities to residents. Learn more about Pollinator Protection here: https://www.cityvadnaisheights.com/ Pollinators. Compost Bin Sale Looking for opportunities to reduce waste?
