First Ward Neighbors including Ridgeway, West Ash and North Central Neighbors, please check out the NCCNA facebook page and share this post widely.  Invite your immediate neighbors to join us.  Ridgeway Neighbors are collaborating with us, NCCNA neighbors, and inviting us into their tree project to offer us additional trees. 

Re: the 'tree trail' project, I personally missed the deadline for the first round of Love Your Block funding - due March 21, 2025 - because of a death in my family, though I am hoping we can come together on an application for a tree trail during the next round.  (https://www.como.gov/featured/love-your-block-grant-applications-open-feb-14/)  

I'll inquire about information from Dayan at the City regarding the specifics of a second round of funding with 'Love Your Block'.  

The preservation of our tree canopy is a First Ward issue.  Keeping the trees along West Ash healthy and in place is a tree preservation/tree canopy issue.  Our concerns across all of the First Ward are aligned with protecting the magnificent tree canopy we have in North Central.  

We can spend more time together and work cooperatively on projects together.  
Hope to see you on Wednesday, May 14th.  This demonstration planting is just one step in a larger effort.  Thank you.
