Welcome to the CommuniTree Project Site

 

The CommuniTree Committee formed to improve the Tree Canopy in Carleton Tract and Hollywood Park. The primary methods for achieving this goal are planting new trees, removing sick and dead trees, and developing a culture of stewardship within the neighborhood.

On November 10, 2018, the Committee plans to plant at least thirty new trees. Before that, we hosted regular workshops to help teach the community about the benefits of trees as well as the best methods to care for them. In 2019, the Committee aims so continue hosting workshops and events to benefit the neighborhood.

We welcome neighbors who are interested in helping steer the direction of the partnership.
