[Highland Park] Sheridan Ave Tree Planting
by Stephanie Walsh 15 Mar '12

15 Mar '12

As some of you may be aware, TreeVitalize supports street tree, park and riverfront trail plantings in the region. The application process for Fall 2012 TreeVitalize plantings is now open for communities in the City of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County. Any property owner can submit an application, but the more applications submitted for a single street, the greater the likelihood the City can fill the requests: multiple requests on one street are easier for them to fill because it simplifies the work in digging holes, delivering mulch and trees, and coordinating planting volunteers. Some neighbors and I are coordinating a request for the 700 through 1300 blocks of Sheridan Ave. Over the past few days, we delivered information on tree planting to homes that have space for a street tree on these blocks and on cross streets near their intersection with Sheridan. If you live on these blocks and would like a street tree, please fill out an application and return it to me by March 18 (if we missed you or you misplaced the application we left, use the link below). Or, you can call me and I can bring over an application and/or pick up an application. We've gotten a good response so far, but the more we get the greater the chance of getting the trees - so please apply! Here is the link to TreeVitalize: http://www.paconserve.org/218 Here is the link to the application: http://www.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/pw/assets/forestry/08_tree_planting_reques… Thanks for helping to beautify our neighborhood!

[Highland Park] protect yourself against ticks with Lyme
by Deb Polk 15 Mar '12

15 Mar '12

Hi Neighbors, A colleague at work was just diagnosed with Lyme disease. The disease can be difficult to treat, and obviously it is better to prevent it that treat it. Moreover, our friend's veterinarian says that the mild winter will mean a heavy tick season this year. So – if you have outdoor pets (all dogs and some cats), please consider using something like Frontline or similar products to keep ticks off pets and out of the house. Also if you engage in a lot of yard work or have kids that play in the yard consider "tick tubes." I just bought some for our yard at: http://www.ticktubes.com/ They are also available through Amazon. These tubes are set in the brush and shrubs on your property and have an insecticide (actually it has material inside it that rodents use to build nests and is treated with insecticide. Small mice, etc. are the primary vectors for ticks, NOT deer). This material then kills the ticks that live on the mice, etc. This greatly reduces the potential for ticks in the yard. The more folks that use these in the neighborhood, the fewer ticks we will have. April 1 is the date to start using the tick tubes in this area. Deb Polk "The gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country, it measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile." Robert F. Kennedy address, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, March 18, 1968.
