Tag Archives: trees

Earlier in the year I wrote about how I joined the neighborhood tree squad.

One of our goals is to increase the tree canopy in our neighborhood. Our urban forester got a grant and if a household meets certain qualifications, they can get trees (from a short list) for $10.

I’ve gone around a couple of times to put fliers on doors. It’s really fun. We look at trees and get to know the neighborhood better. Both times we had a person who really wanted to talk about trees.

This last time we saw a neighbor and let them know what we were doing. They told us they didn’t like trees. Trees make too much mess. Have we seen the streets a few blocks over?

I don’t know. I think a few leaves are worth the benefits like shade and don’t you think this looks pretty?
