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@aol.com_ (mailto:jeanjon@aol.com) . Thanks so much. Jean Clickner ____________________________________ From: jake@treepittsburgh.org To: JeanJon@aol.com Sent: 9/23/2011 1:08:23 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time Subj: Re: Tree care follow up! That's great Jean, thanks. One of our staff members will certainly be there, most likely myself. I'll bring along all the tools we need, as well as mulch, compost bags, etc. Looking forward, Jake On Thu, Sep 22, 2011 at 5:00 PM, <_JeanJon@aol.com_ (mailto:JeanJon@aol.com) > wrote: I'm ok with starting at 5:30. I'll put out the word next week and follow-up each week thereafter. Will you or someone else be around, also? Not a problem either way. Jean In a message dated 9/22/2011 2:52:59 P.M.

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@aol.com_ (mailto:JeanJon@aol.com) > wrote: Sounds good. Tell me again the streets we'll be working on and if you already have a designated meeting area, i.e., where will the supplies be? I'll start to advertise it.

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. Please encourage people to register so we know how many are attending. Here is the link to register: _https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dE05VXJTdWVSVjZPWFAxZG 0yZWJhUVE6MQ_ (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dE05VXJTdWVSVjZPWFAxZG0...) You could also direct people to the Tree Pittsburgh public calendar located on our _website_ (http://www.treepittsburgh.org/) , where they can link to the registration. 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. It should be pretty straigtforward though, as we'll just be picking up where we left off last month Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be in touch in the coming weeks.

I was waiting to see if the other folks on the list would be willing to take the lead on another event. It's great that you're up for another tree tending event. Would you be willing to take the helm on organizing the next one? There's not that much involved. I'll develop the work plan, get all the tools, etc ready and figure out the logistics of the actual day. All we need from your end is for you to provide some leadership in the community in terms of recruiting your friends/neighbors/fellow community members. If you're too busy or aren't interested in playing that role, that's OK. Just thought I'd ask.

Although I missed this one, I'm up for another tending event. Jean In a message dated 9/2/2011 7:21:28 A.M.

It would be nice to do the rest of Stanton and the ones on N Highland in the fall. I'm assuming we will also need to gear up for a tree planting on Winterton/Heberton, which I will organize. I'm happy to come work at a tree care day or evening, but don't want to take on organizing because of the amount of time I'll need to devote to the tree planting. Anyone else up for organizing?

Apologies for not kicking back with beers afterwards, one of these days though for sure. Does anyone have a desire to schedule another event to take care of the rest of the Stanton corridor? We got about halfway there this time and it would be great to get the rest done one of these days. At this point the first or second week in November would be good on our end. Let me know!
