It's true!

We've confirmed it: The City will plant trees back on Omaha Street!

From our neighbor Erika:

I spoke with Karl Dawson from Urban Forestry this morning. He said UF will
plant 6 trees in a volunteer neighborhood planting on Halloween from 9-11am. As
many neighbors as possible should join in the planting. The neighborhood then
needs to set up a watering schedule for 3 years for the summers (May-June) after
the planting. UF can provide hoses or irrigation if needed. He said the city's
sprinkler system would not provide the direct watering the trees need.

Maybe we should have another neighborhood meeting to decide the types of
trees and a watering schedule. Our tree choices are: Oregon White Oak,
Northern Red Oak, Big Leaf Maple or Evergreens. Karl said he will purchase the
trees around Oct 24th for the Oct 31st planting.
