With this week's hot weather, we're asking anyone who can to help out MPRB forestry crews and water trees along Minneapolis streets. Last week they filled 3,700 watering bags for newly planted trees - but they can't do it alone! https://t.co/fLHZ7Z7awG

Spending time outdoors today for Pride events or waiting for the #ErasTourMinneapolis? Drink plenty of water, wear sunscreen and wear light, loose-fitting clothes to avoid heat-related illness. #tcpride #ErasTour #TaylorSwift
