Trees for 11800 North

The Highland City Tree Commission has received approval from the city forester to move forward with planting trees along the north side of 11800 North and entry streets to the Highland Hills development. This planting project will occur on Arbor Day 2010, the last Saturday in April. The Tree Commission is currently writing to obtain grant money to fund this project to be added to a small budget the commission has to work with. This money, along with multiple volunteers, Eagle Scout candidate, and city public works employees, will help to carry out this project. If you would like to participate in planning the layout of the trees, plan to attend a neighborhood tree planting planning meeting within the next month. Meeting details will be coming soon. During this meeting we will plan the design/layout of the trees, select trees, review how the tree commission planting projects are carried out, as well as update you on additional progress we are seeing with our open space improvements. This should be a fun and educational meeting and give our neighborhoods an opportunity to work together on beautifying our area.
