[Highland Park] Tree tenders needed to tuck in the new trees for the winter.
by JeanJon＠aol.com 02 Oct '11

02 Oct '11

To all Highland Parkers (and any one else reading this), You don't have to be a certified tree tender to care about and enjoy the new trees appearing around the neighborhood. In order to ensure that the trees flourish, we like to give them a nice blanket of mulch before winter. Many hands make light work! If you can help out for an hour or two, we'll be working on trees around the Stanton Avenue and N. St. Clair St. area on Oct. 18, 2011; starting at 5:30 p.m. We won't work more than 2 hours, and likely less as it will be dark fairly early. You don't need to bring anything; all tools, mulch, etc. will be supplied. If you can help, please let me know as soon as possible. Reply to _jeanjon(a)aol.com_ (mailto:jeanjon@aol.com) . Thanks so much. Jean Clickner ____________________________________ From: jake(a)treepittsburgh.org To: JeanJon(a)aol.com Sent: 9/23/2011 1:08:23 P.M.

Eastern Daylight Time, _jake(a)treepittsburgh.org_ (mailto:jake@treepittsburgh.org) writes: Jean, I've attached a little map I put together of the trees that need work on Stanton. I think Stanton and N St Clair will be a good meeting place. One question: I checked the sunset schedule and realized that with the sun setting at 6:30 that day we'll run out of daylight before the 6-8 time slot is over. What do you think about starting at 5:30 instead? Fortunately there isn't a ton of work to do, so I think we could accomplish our goal regardless. However, starting at 5:30 would give us a bit of an edge. Let me know. Jake On Wed, Sep 21, 2011 at 8:32 PM, <_JeanJon(a)aol.com_ (mailto:JeanJon@aol.com) > wrote: Sounds good.

You really don't have to do much other than spread the word. Sometimes people like to have everyone over for coffee or drinks, but that's totally up to you. As for spreading the word, in the past people have hung flyers in local coffee shops, etc. If you're on the Highland Park list serve, you could send a note to the neighborhood letting them know about the event.

On the event end of things, I'll take care of all the tools and logistics. If you'd like to do a site visit beforehand to get an idea of what we'll be doing I'd be happy to meet up with you.
