Helpers sought to water trees in Libby Hill Park

The Church Hill Planters and Friends of Libby Hill Park are lining up folks to help water the new trees planted this past February in Libby Hill Park:

We need help watering our newly planted trees as well as our “yearlings.” Please let me know if you can be part of a team and be responsible for watering trees in the park for one week — that means that you’re committing to watering just one time during that week. You don’t have to have a partner to sign up, just let me know the date you choose and we’ll try to fill the spot.

council proposes tree removal moratorium

The agenda for the next city council meeting (10/27) has an item of interest if you’re a fan of trees:

Ord. No. 2008-239 – To impose a moratorium on the removal of trees pursuant to the provisions of the City of Richmond Municipal Tree Policy ***, until such time as the City’s Administration makes a presentation to the City Council on the criteria used to determine when tree removal is necessary.

  1. No tree shall be planted at least 25 feet from street intersections and at least 10 feet from alleys.
  2. No tree shall be planted closer than 10 feet to a utility pole.
