Tree planting in Somerville this spring!

[fefie.livejournal.com]

The City of Somerville will plant about 600 trees this spring, about three times as many as it has in previous years. You can help by recommending locations; you can request one for your street by calling 311 or (617) 666-3311. The trees will be planted by a contractor and come with a three-year warranty that includes maintenance and care by the contractor.

The City will try to fulfill tree-planting requests as quickly as possible. Please be aware that not all tree-planting requests can be met; sometimes things like sidewalk width, utility work, and other nearby trees mean the City can't plant a new tree in a particular location.

[Announcement comes from the latest Resistat newsletter and from Ward 5 Alderman Niedergang's newsletter.]
