Yesterday was our last tree stewardship class and our final speaker was the now infamous Karl Dawson, the man who is going to get our trees replanted on Omaha.What a nice guy - he's been head of public/private park partnerships for 10 years on behalf of the City of Portland. He organizes volunteers and neighborhood groups to do city tree projects that the neighborhoods want done, and he works to energize neighborhood groups to recognize the importance of trees to their streets, parks and property.
He's having trouble finding trees in the species that we want (and that he suggested) to plant in the Omaha Parkway. He wants trees with a big enough caliper size so that they won't be easily vandalized and will grow quickly. So he's requested a set-over of the planting date until November 14 in order to find the trees he wants.
So: we need at least 7 people to help with planting on November 14. David and I are in - are you?

Hey Liz,
John and I are in, although you might want to count us as 1.5. I'm 5 months pregnant and not sure how much help I'll be, but I still want to participate.
Thanks again for taking the tree stewardship class. I can't wait to hear more about what you learned.
Hey Julia! That's great news!!!!
We welcome John, you and the rookie at the tree planting!
