Community Boulevard Tree Planting on October 27, on Marion Road
Did you know that every year we loose 800-1000 boulevard trees in Rochester? We’ll do a small part to add back to the boulevards by planting 100 trees on Marion Road, beautifying this neighborhood. Tree varieties that will be planted have been selected by Jacob Ryg, City Forester, and include Accolade Elm, Amur Maackia, Hackberry, Kentucky Coffeetree, and Ginkgo. For spaces under power lines, the appropriate variety will be chosen that will not need to be cut back.Bring your family, your friends, and your neighbors. We’ll all work together to improve our community. Rain or shine.You can read more about this event on our website.
Citizen Forester Training on October 13, 12-5 pm, at Quarry Hill Nature Center
Join us on Saturday for an intense day of tree education, climbing, and planting.Even if you’ve already gone through Citizen Forester training and are a tree-pro, you’ll learn new facts during this afternoon.You can read more about this event on our website
