Neighborwoods – Day 2
The last day of September and the first of October brought out sunny clear skies, and the perfect temperatures for planting trees. With over 150 volunteers for the Neighborwoods event in partnership with the Mayor’s Greening Initiative, we planted 200 trees over three 3-hour shifts—finishing them all with an hour and a half to spare.
