A Tree for the ``Tree Lady'' Last April, DPPA gave Nancy Nelson the DPPA Civic Activist of the Year Award. To honor Nancy, her choice of a Northern Pin Oak will soon be planted in Lake Place Park. The plaque next to the tree will read: ``This Northern Pin Oak tree is dedicated to Duluth’s beloved ‘Tree Lady,’ Nancy Nelson. May they both flourish in a city that values the beauty of our natural wonders. Duluth Public-Policy Alliance Civic Activist of the Year, 2002.'' A formal dedication will be planned after the tree and plaque are in place.
