Trees Across Raleigh Plant More

The City of Oaks is always in need of more trees, especially considering how many will be taken down by the North Blount Street Development project in the coming years.  You can show your support for Trees Across Raleigh at a workday on Saturday in Biltmore Hills Park, just South of the Beltline.  Trees Across Raleigh has planted over 7,100 trees in 10 years from Glenwood Avenue to Chavis Park and looks to continue “making Raleigh, NC a little greener one tree at a time.” Mayor Meeker will be on hand to present the project and speak about the cities plans for water conservation. 

Folks,
  Trees Across Raleigh will be mulching, pruning, raking, etc. in Biltmore
Hills this Saturday (Nov. 3rd) and there will be a kick off with Mayor
Meeker and a brief presentation on water conservation. Typically we would be
partnering with the City of Raleigh and other volunteer organizations to
“plant trees” but we are in a critical time of water conservation and we’ll
save the trees for the Spring when we hope to be out of the drought.

Please join us on Saturday to do the ‘next best thing’ for our parks.
