BISMARCK, N.D. — North Dakota Parks and Recreation is making it easier than ever to leave a lasting legacy within our state parks with the launch of a new, streamlined online donation process for its popular tree program and newly introduced bench program.

For many years, supporters have helped shape our state parks through generous tree or shrub donations, creating living tributes that continue to grow and benefit park landscapes. The department extends its sincere appreciation to those who have contributed to this long-standing tradition. Building on that legacy, the new Donate a Bench program offers an additional way for individuals to create meaningful, lasting connections within the parks.

BISMARCK, ND – Governor Kelly Armstrong has proclaimed April as Safe Digging Month in North Dakota. In recognition, the North Dakota Public Service Commission (PSC) is reminding everyone of the potential dangers and consequences of digging without first clicking or calling 8-1-1, North Dakota’s Call Before You Dig number. “Spring has arrived, and with it comes a surge of outdoor projects. Before any digging begins, the North Dakota Public Service Commission has an essential reminder: always call 811 first,” said Commissioner Sheri Haugen‑Hoffart, who oversees the damage prevention portfolio. “This simple step is one of the most effective ways to prevent dangerous and costly accidents. Underground utility lines – whether gas, electric, communications, water, or sewer – are closer to the surface than many people realize. Striking one can create serious safety hazards and contribute to billions of dollars in damages each year. By making a quick call to 811, you’re protecting yourself, your property, and your community. Safe digging starts with knowing what’s below – don’t take the risk.”
