Volunteers are needed to help plant 35 trees including big leaf maple, northern red oak, <br /> catalpa, London plane, and Oregon ash along Harlow Road between Honeysuckle Lane and Calvin Street. <br /> Interested neighbors and other community members should meet at 9 a.m. ai the comer of Calvin Street <br /> and Harlow Road near Bertha Holt Elementary School. <br /> "The Red Lion Hotel is a new tree planting partner this year," says Rick Olkowski, NeighborWoods <br /> Coordinator.
