RNeighbors is currently seeking funds to support a Fall 2006 Citizen Forester Training, and Community Boulevard Planting.

Dates have been scheduled for the Fall NeighborWoods events:

  • Citizen Forester Training
    Wednesday and Thursday, October 4 and 5
    4-6 pm, at the Park and Rec. Shop, 403 East Center Street
  • Community Boulevard Planting Event
    Saturday, October 21
    10 am

The program intends to plant trees along each of the following Boulevards:

  • Boulevard #1
    20th St SE, and adjoining 8th and 9th Avenues at Ben Franklin Elementary (Meadow Park)
  • Boulevard #2
    55th Street NW (Golfview, Lincolnshire/ Arbor Glen)
  • Boulevard #3
    Elton Hills Drive and West River Parkway

Currently Rochester only has approximately 40% of the available tree planting spaces filled; NeighborWoods has a long term goal to fill these vacant spaces to 85% capacity.

The cost of successful community tree planting is expensive, RNeighbors will be seeking additional partners to strengthen NeighborWoods in Rochester. Together we can make a lasting impact on Rochester’s urban forest.

Please contact us if you would like more information on how your service group, organization, or business can become involved or contribute.
