The involvement of other City personnel involved with the care of trees is <br /> essential to developing a broad -based understanding throughout the City <br /> organization and the community of what trees are planted, how they are <br /> planted, and why. Members of the City's horticulture and tree crews could <br /> benefit enormously if they were to occasionally spend some time helping plant <br /> and care for young trees, and they would likely provide insights that could <br /> help make the program even better. Such exposure might, at the very least, <br /> help the horticulture and tree crews feel more a part of a well- rounded <br /> program. <br /> As wonderful as it would be if NeighborWoods were to run itself, the program, <br /> in its current form, requires the year -round presence of a City staff person <br /> to supervise the program, instill and maintain a degree of enthusiasm, and <br /> provide the technical skills that most volunteers do not have. The funding <br /> for such a position is minimal when weighed against the benefits to our <br /> community of planting and caring for new trees properly. <br /> guide.ngh <br /> Updated September 1992 <br /> 13 <br />
