Urban Foresters Needed

Kelly, the city urban forester, needs 6 to 8 volunteers for two hours on 6/22, Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., to help spread mulch under the huge, beautiful oak trees at Veteran’s Park near CM Allen and McKie.  This is about two blocks from the softball fields on the IH 35 feeder road in Ramon Lucio Park.  Just drive toward the neighborhood on Mariposa, from C. M. Allen.  Park about two blocks from C. M. Allen.  Bring a water bottle that you can refill on the site. Wear closed toe shoes, hat, sunglasses, sun screen, and bring a bandanna or bug spray.  Kelly will provide wheelbarrows, pitchforks, and garden rakes.  Many hands will make fast work so please come if you can, and help protect the roots of these trees.
