So in February we had a successful planting of nearly 100 new trees in the park! The survival rate looks…just OK, but that’s still a lot of trees. Anyways, with drier weather and the new trees starting to leaf out, I wanted to ask for volunteers to adopt small sections of the park – just a few new trees each – and water the new trees once a week(ish) unless we get really good rains. I plan to do mine with creek/pond water and a (half-full) 5 gallon bucket, but be creative! I think it would be a great project with kids.

If you’re willing to do this fairly regularly, please let me know, as well as where in the park is handy for you. I could meet folks as convenient and walk through sections.

Also, for anyone that got a street tree, I hope you’ll water them regularly during even moderate dry spells this first year, and during longer dry spells for the first 3 years.

Please email me directly to be a tree helper.

With Kind Regards,

Tom
