Here’s a worthwhile activity coming up in Greenpoint on July 12 that came our way that involves taking care of some of the neighborhood’s street trees:

Get Green In Greenpoint! Be a part of our street tree care community event:
– learn about the MillionTrees Initiative
– participate in street tree care on Manhattan Ave. (aerating soil, weeding tree pits, mulching,and watering)
Trees need our help… and we need them. Health benefits, clean air, beauty, you name it. Urban life for a street tree is tough…

It takes place on Saturday, July 12th, 2008 from 10AM-2PM. Meet up at the American Playground, which is located at the corner of Milton St. and Franklin St.
