RNeighborWoods 2007 Spring Tree Planting

Rochester is celebrating its 25th year as a Tree City USA, along with its third straight year of receiving the “Growth Award” for improvements in Urban Forest management. To help celebrate, join the RNeighborWoods tree planting on April 28 along Elton Hills Drive.

How should the RNeighborWoods group follow-up a successful fall planting of 238 trees by 150 volunteers?

By doing a spring planting of course!

  • Elton Hills Drive RNeighborWoods tree planting
    Saturday, April 28, 9:30 am

    • Meet by the ball fields of Rochester Central Lutheran School (RCLS). Please park on 9th Avenue, at Elton Hills Elementary, or at Hoover Elementary, not at RCLS.
    Look for a table and smiling people with safety orange vests on. We’ll introduce our Citizen Foresters, go over the logistics of the planting, divide into groups, and then plant 100 trees all along Elton Hills Drive! The majority of these trees were purchased by Rochester Public Utilities and include tree varieties of Serviceberry, Tree Lilac, Adams Crabapple, and Ginkgo trees (in spaces that are not under the power wires).
