Caring for City Trees in Mountain View

In the last year, volunteers have planted around fifty trees in our local Mountain View neighborhoods. Areas such as Whisman Sports Center at Crittenden Middle School, Cuesta Park, and the beautiful Chinese Pistache trees on Bryant Street are all due to past efforts of these volunteers. We love the park like atmosphere these trees are creating in Mountain View. We can all help take care of our individual neighborhood trees. Some of you may not know what to do, however.

If you missed the recent tree-pruning workshop with arborist Ray Morneau, you will have another opportunity to ask questions about the care of a city tree in front of your house.

Sunday December 5th, 2010 from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm at the Farmers' Market, Train Station, You will have an opportunity to meet the volunteers who are responsible for planting all of beautiful neighborhood trees. They will have a booth at the market.

Because new trees are especially vulnerable in the first 5 years of life, this is a great opportunity to ask for expert advice on how to keep the trees healthy. Caring for city trees in Mountain View keeps our city beautiful.

Location: Caltrain Station parking lot, 600 West Evelyn Ave, Downtown Mountain View.
