NeighborWoods News
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.
