Dunston Ave Tree Planting Reminder
Where: Grassy area between Dunston Avenue and Reedy Creek from Roanoke Avenue east to Bland St.
Why: Planting trees along streams is one of the best ways to improve water quality. A buffer of trees along Reedy Creek will help prevent pollution from entering the creek, stabilize the stream banks from erosion, and create wildlife habitat.
Who: Team effort of the Reedy Creek Coalition, Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, and the City of Richmond. Native trees will be provided through the Alliance’s community conservation and restoration programs.
When: Sunday, March 6, 2011 from 2:00 – 4:30 pm
To volunteer, please contact the Reedy Creek Coalition at:
reedycreekcoalition@gmail.com. Some tools will be provided; but please bring a shovel if you can.
We are seeing a good response from the community so far with over 20 people currently registered as volunteers. There is always room for more. Please register at reedycreekcoalition@gmail.com so we can contact you prior to the event regarding parking and other details.
