Neighborhood Tree Planting & Tree Trooper Training |
|
|
|
It's time to plan for fall tree planting efforts as spring
planting season winds down. We want to support
neighborhood plans in partnership with the NO
Department of Parks and Parkways. A good way to
get started is to invite us to a neighborhood meeting
and also to select a neighborhood representative
to attend Tree Troopers Training. Register now for the
FREE training that educates residents to become
stewards of their trees and leaders in helping
their neighborhood in planning and planting projects.
Chevron and The Booth Bricker Fund are key
supporters of this effort to ReLeaf New Orleans.
