tree steward classes start 10/7; Adopt-A-Tree deadline is 10/1
Richmond Tree Stewards classes will be offered again this fall. Classes begin Oct.7; find out more and sign up! In other tree-related news, the deadline to participate in the Adopt-A-Tree Program for this year is Oct.1, with trees adopted this year to be planted late November through the end of February. Visit the city’s Urban Forrestry site to learn more or download the application (.doc) to get your block a nice tree!
According to Dept of Forestry staff, the Adopt-A-Tree deadline has been extended until November 30th, so there’s still time to submit your request.
Yup, after a couple phone calls to the city, I confirmed the deadline has in fact been extended to 11-30-08.
Eventho the city website still says the deadline is 10-1-08, and all the paperwork you download still says 10-1-08, and the 311 operators know nothing about the extension; the secretary of the Urban Forestry staff says the deadline extension “official”.
Get yer trees, folks!
