FSRP funded the planting of 8 new trees this spring. The trees were planted by Steve Pascavitch and his crew from Awbury Arboretum. CCRA has generously agreed to contribute towards all of these trees. Two dead Norway maple trees on Pine Street were replaced with serviceberry trees. |

We replaced 2 dead trees on 25th Street with new locust trees. |
 |

We added a locust tree in an empty pit where there was no tree. The dead redbud tree in the conversation area was replaced with another redbud. |

The dangerous linden tree, at 25th and Delancey, was replaced with another linden. The big willow in front of the dog run was replaced with a flowering cherry tree. |

Our park is remarkably clean and cared for. This is ongoing job for all of us. Every day, volunteers pick up trash, water trees and flowers, and keep on top of the grafitti. Some of the dog walkers make it a morning ritual to pick up litter while they are walking their dogs. Volunteers fill the gator bags around the new trees several times per week, and others water the garden areas of the park. Please participate in this ongoing maintenance, whether there is an organized cleanup event or not. |
