UPDATED 10/28: The Tree Committee and friends succeeded in planting 6 of our more sensitive trees early Wednesday morning. We have 6 more to plant on Saturday morning starting at 9:00 a.m., and we can use help if you can give an hour or two. If we have enough people, we also plan to mulch other trees in the neighborhood to protect them from winter temperature swings and lawn care equipment.
Special thanks to Zakhar Berkovich, John Blanchard, Marianne Clifford, Dawn Meifert, Steve Strichman, Mary and Tom Werner, and ReTree volunteer Steve Jones, for doing the planting.
The GERPA Tree Committee has once again coordinated the planting of a dozen trees on our street lawns to replace trees we have lost. The trees are scheduled to be delivered on Monday, October 26, and will need to be planted as soon as possible after delivery.
Volunteers are needed to help plant the trees on the mornings of October 28, 29, 30, and 31. If you can spare an hour or two on any of those days (or later in the day if that works better for you), please consider lending a hand! The work should be manageable, as the trees are bare-root.
Any trees remaining will be planted on Saturday, October 31, so extra help that day would also be appreciated.
Interested in helping? Please email Kathleen LoGuidice at [email protected].
Many thanks to Kathleen and the Tree Committee for coordinating this effort, and to everyone who can pitch in to help keep our neighborhood green and beautiful!
