There are about 250 freshly fallen trees stacked near Fort Snelling, waiting to be ground into wood chips. The trees were wrenched from the ground by the tornado that blew through Minneapolis last week. MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Ralph Sievert, the director of forestry for the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board.
