Earth Day volunteer and Master Gardener April Sandhoff picks up trash at the Northland Arboretum with a group of volunteers Friday, April 22, 2022. Groups of volunteer workers were picking up litter in area parks and roadways across the area.
I was raised on a farm in western Minnesota where I participated in 4-H, high school sports, and everything that farm kids do for fun after chores. Graduated from Ridgewater Community College with an AA degree and my first taste of newspapering. I worked a summer on the Ortonville Independent as a reporter and photographer.
