Crews will continue to mow grass and mulch leaves until a major snow event or until frozen ground creates turf damage. 

Many of our seasonal staff finish in late August and our crews become much smaller. If you notice any areas that could use extra attention, please fill out a maintenance request form or text "MOW" to 701-997-7275.

Community gardens are tilled starting in mid-October. All desired produce must be harvested and stakes, fencing and other materials removed before October 15. Anything not removed will be taken to the landfill, recycled or tilled. Tenants of any plots not properly picked up will be notified and may lose future use of the garden. 

River accessories must be removed in the fall to prepare for freezing water and snowfall. Kayak launches are generally removed on 15th October, and floating bridges and docks are removed as soon as temperatures are low enough to allow ice to form on the river. If snowfall is predicted, accessories might have to be removed sooner as these conditions make it more difficult and dangerous for our crews to work.
