Next week, HWPOA will be sending out a survey to our members that will help our Westwood Village committee understand what changes and improvements you would like to see in the Village. We hope everyone will participate in the survey and look forward to your response.
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 newly planted trees on Malcolm and Manning Avenues. This event is a follow-up to the work that Green Team members undertook in August to assess the new 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.
Meet us at 9:00 am at 801 Malcolm Avenue. Come prepared with your own water, a hat, work gloves and sun protection. Meet your neighbors, learn about proper tree care and maintenance, and have fun! No experience needed. Community Service credit available. See you there!
