[Green] More info from Roger on tree planting

[Dawn Hewitt]

This from Roger: 

"I’ve now got 24 large trees and 22 small trees to get planted between now and October 28th. I will be focused full-time with this major community effort. Specifics i can really use help with to be safe and improve our community:
Open pickup truck to haul two 100-150 pound, 12 foot tall red oaks from Greenleaf to Indian Acres. Driver will not have to lift anything. I would be there. 
Mature compost or augmented soil. Plans are to put 5 gallons good soil in tree holes where necessary.
Mulch to surround each tree to hold moisture and protect from mowing (largest threat to trees). 
Individuals knowledgeable about tree planting to assist supervising 9-12 Saturday October 28, Make A Difference Day. 
"Everything for project is going well. I will be supervising 30-60 volunteers over 1.2 miles of River Trail. (Good luck Roger!) Appreciate any help. Trees, kids and animals need responsible adults to protect them. Save the planet: one kid and tree at a time!!”

Later, Roger added:  Jim G. And George B. are helping with No. 1 red oaks. George is supervising October 28th. Still need others. 

"I am working with the tree commission as I have for 30 years always according to rules."

"I am working with Co-Tree Commission Chairs Grady Smith and Dennis Cavilier, TC Memorial Tree designee Joyce Robinson and TC member Aaron Reynolds.”

Dawn here: This is a worthy project. If you’re available on October 28 (or before), please contact Roger. 

Hope to see you tomorrow for the GSC meeting.
