Trees make good neighbors. Since 2006, the RNeighborWoods group has planted 200 seedlings and 338 ball-in-burlap trees in Rochester. This fall the City of Rochester and RNeighbors is offering a grant for winning neighborhood(s) to receive up to 30 free boulevard trees.
Each application must ensure:
- At least 30 neighbors and one Citizen Forester will be available to help with the planting. The City Forester will oversee the planting.
- Planting date must take place during the week of October 15-19, 2007.
- Neighbors will commit to watering the trees for three full years.
All registered Neighborhood Associations in Rochester are eligible to apply for this grant and get brand new boulevard trees to shade their streets.
Applications will be accepted online through Monday, September 24, at 5 pm. Organize your neighbors and plant some trees!
