[Highland Park] Invitation to Tree Care Day in East Liberty
by Patricia Buddemeyer 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Saturday, March 24, 2012 From 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., community members will inspect the trees planted last Fall and (1) prune any winter damage, (2) remove weeds and trash around the base of the trees, and (3) mulch as necessary. We will also be looking for commitments from additional people to care for individual trees on the 5800 block of Black Street, the 500 and 600 blocks of North Beatty Street, and along Highland Avenue adjacent to the high school and sports field. The biggest part of this commitment is seeing that each tree gets 20 gallons of water per week from April to November. (You don’t have to bring the water with you; there is some nearby.) Lunch will be provided at noon for those who are caring for the trees. Please let us know if you are coming by sending an email to buddem(a)att.netor calling 412.860.9524. If you are interested in learning more about trees, and becoming a certified Tree Tender – which is NOT necessary for this event – contact Tree Pittsburgh: >Become a Tree Tender in 2012! > >Not a Tree Tender yet? Join Tree Pittsburgh for one of our popular courses and >learn about urban forestry, tree biology, pruning, planting, and tree >maintenance basics.

If you haven't signed up yet to run or walk in the Pittsburgh Marathon and you'd like to do so, Haiti H2O needs runners and walkers for all the events: 5k, 1/2 Marathon, Full Marathon, and Relay Teams. I traveled to Haiti with them, and saw first hand the good work they are doing in rural Haiti. I will be running 6 miles on a relay team and raising money for this great cause. To find out more, check out the Haiti H2O web page at www.haitih2o.org or send an email to info@haiti h2o.org. (Haiti H2O is a charity partner with the Dick Sporting Good Pittsburgh Marathon.)
