Planting trees around the neighborhood

Location: Yorkshire Woods neighborhood!

Date and time: Thursday, October 19, 2023 12:00P.M. - 6:00P.M.

Description: Neighborhood volunteers gathered to plant trees near select homes. We worked up a sweat, but the result will be worth it! The trees will be cared for by an external organization for the first couple years. We look forward to the beneficial ecological effects, as well as the beauty and the summer shade!

  • Five young people stand, smiling and making peace signs on Kensington Ave in the autumn sun. One person holds a shovel, and a few have their shoes covered so they can work in dirt.
  • Side view of a person with a knit cap and braids using a shovel to dig a hole. Nearby, a young tree wrapped in canvas cloth awaits its new resting spot.
  • Five people with shovels dig holes in grass near the sidewalk. One young tree wrapped in canvas waits tipped over nearby, and another has recently been planted in a hole. Two of the people wear blue shirts which read, "Volunteer."
  • Ten people with nametags, including Mose Primus, smile at the camera on a crisp autumn day. They stand on the sidewalk in front of the 4 Angels Community Garden area.
