4. GREEN TEAM UPDATE – TREE CARE & MAINTENANCE DAY
TREE CARE AND MAINTENANCE DAY
Saturday, September 14 at 9:00 AM
Please join the Green Team and TreePeople on Saturday, September 14 for a Community Tree Care event. We will focus on the 26 trees that were planted on Malcolm and Manning Avenues earlier this year. This event is a follow-up to the work that Green Team members undertook in August to assess the newly planted trees for their tree care needs. TreePeople will provide the instruction, supervision and tools for us to properly prune, mulch, water, adjust tree stakes and ties and rebuild tree berms. This work is essential to the health and life of our new trees.
We will meet at 9:00 am at 801 Malcolm Avenue. Come prepared with your own water, a hat, work gloves and sun protection. This is a good chance to meet some neighbors, learn about proper tree care and maintenance and help our new, young trees thrive. It will be fun! No experience needed. Hope to see you there.

She has a car and drives kids to/from school, sports, and music lessons. She also cooks for the kids and does laundry and housekeeping.
