The following is an announcement from Children and Nature Network, a great resource (please see http://www.childrenandnature.org/) about a national celebration of trees in our communities. You can get involved by learning more about our local Greenwich Tree Conservancy. Please see their update below.
October is National NeighborWoods® Month!
National NeighborWoods Month is the Alliance for Community Trees' (ACTrees) annual celebration of trees in our communities. Every October, tens of thousands of volunteers take action to make their communities greener and healthier by planting trees—turning their neighborhoods into vibrant, livable NeighborWoods! [+] Get involved.
Update from Greenwich Tree Conservancy
We are continuing to plant trees in town! So far in October we have planted 20 trees which has brought our annual tree planting number this year to about 150. We have planted at Parkway School and plan to plant at EMS shortly. If any other school is in need of trees they should let us know.Other than that, we are on our way next Wednesday the 23rd to the New York Botanical Garden for a tour by Todd Forrest, author of Magnificent Trees of the NYBG.
Best regards,
JoAnn Messina
