Description

One of New Haven’s newest Greenspace groups begins its second year!
WHAT WE DO: plant trees, shrubs, flowers in the tree strip [curb strip] in front of your home or apartment: the area between the sidewalk and curb. (This particular Greenspace group does NOT do front yards or parks/public spaces.) Plants are FREE!
WHERE: the area bounded by and including Hallock Ave., Greenwich Ave., and South Water St., including Howard Ave. from Lamberton St. to South Water St., and the cross streets in this area: First through Sixth Streets & Sea St.
WHEN: June through July. Days of week & times to be determined by group members. So join now and we’ll accommodate your schedule! Also, if you join now you can help us determine which locations on the aforementioned streets we’ll tackle this season.
HOW TO JOIN: Call me, Chris Schaefer, at 203-668-6348. If no answer, PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE and I’ll return your call. OR email me: schaeferchristopher@yahoo.com
“As neighbors work together to beautify their homes, they begin to identify other problems of concern: trash, crime, abandonment, etc. Before you know it, a tree planting project creates common ground which helps solve a variety of problems…” Community Greenspace Manual: Urban Resources Initiative
