NE1G- COU.NCL Page 1 <br /> Article for the January 28th Council Newsletter <br /> "NeighborWoods" Tree Planting Handbook <br /> The City in entering into the third annual planting for the "NeighborWoods" program. While this street <br /> tree planting program is coordinated by city staff, the bulk of the work performed in getting trees <br /> planted is through neighborhood volunteers. <br /> The program expanded from approximately 300 trees planted in FY -92, to approximately 600 trees planted <br /> in FY -93. This year the goal is to have 1,000 new trees planted along city streets. <br /> Helping to coordinate these efforts, staff have developed a shirt pocket sized bound booklet titled. <br /> "NeighborWoods, Planter's Handbook of Street Trees ". This handbook covers items ranging from choosing <br /> a site for the new tree and what trees are available to planting and maintaining the new tree in the <br /> critical period of its establishment. Copies of this booklet, which are available to all NeighborWoods <br /> volunteers, have been included in today's council packet.
