Accessible, walkable communities year-round is a key focus of Duluth Age-Friendly to ensure our built environment supports health, mobility, and social connection across the lifespan. That’s why we’re proud to support Be MinneSNOWta NICE, to make Duluth a better place to live by encouraging neighbors to help neighbors with snow removal.

This fall, with the help of volunteers, the Ecolibrium3 Urban Farm team took steps to address the thorny problem of invasive buckthorn on the farm.
