Message from Gael Silverblatt re National Park(ing) Day in Lake Worth - 9/19

For participating in National Park(ing) Day each neighborhood association will receive 50 Live Oak Trees, each individual will receive one Live Oak Tree. Those neighborhood associations who could not participate may receive 10 Live Oak Trees each. The trees look good and when planted will be 4-5 feet tall.

The trees can be picked up Saturday from 9am - 12pm (noon) at the Pinecrest Cemetery Building , on the west side of the building. The address is 1724 12th Ave. South. Bring your vehicles for transport.

Neighborhood associations you may give out more than one tree per resident. You don't need to fill out tree waiver forms to receive the trees.

Watering instructions from David McGrew: Please make sure to tell the tree recipients to make sure they water the trees daily while they are still in pots, daily for the first week after planting and then every other day for at least a month. This will ensure their survival. This is allowed under the current restrictions.

The trees will count towards the city's goal to plant 10,000 trees by 2013.

Thanks for making this eco event a community event.
