Now that the snow is gone and we are all looking forward to fairer weather, please remember there is NO excuse for littering.

Do not be afraid to be a good Samaritan by bringing a grocery bag with you on your dog walks or evening strolls and pick up litter along the way. Every bit helps.

Pass it along!

The photo below is litter picked up from a 20 minute walk in the hill section. How much can you gather in your neighborhood?

Can you believe 2025 is almost over already? Us at the Shade Tree commission can't, but we do value this time for us to stay indoors and plan for our big aspirations in the coming year. We are looking for dedicated folks who love this city and what to see it beautiful again who'd like to be Shade Tree Volunteers! We can't achieve much without the generous help of others. Prospective events this year include assisting in tree planting, documenting trees within the city and possibly helping man booths at local events.
