Jeannine ‘Niner’ McDonald has been volunteering to preserve Graeser Park since 2008. As a Robbinsdale Lion, she joins group cleanup days but also spends a lot of time on her own, weeding and digging in the early morning hours.
Thanks to a global pandemic, this PhysEd teacher at Jenny Lind Elementary School in Minneapolis was able to spend a lot of time at Graeser Park in summer of 2020.
Follow her progress – she documented the efforts in this ‘A Long Way from 2013‘ – Niner illustrated her preservation efforts each day with dramatic before/after photos.
