Free Street Trees <br />are now available for U-City Residents. Residents have a marvelous <br />opportunity to add a tree to their tree lawn in front of their house, at no expense either to <br />them or to the City. Recipients of the trees will be required to attend a demonstration of <br />how to plant the tree and care for it. They can then take the free tree home to their tree <br />lawns and plant it themselves. Fifty (50) trees, including bald cypress, tulip trees, and <br />redbuds provided by Forest ReLeaf of Missouri will be made available for late October <br />or November planting to the first University City residents who put in a request. An <br />email to the City Forester, James Crowe, at jcrowe@ucitymo.org or a phone call to him <br />at 505-8619 will reserve your tree and a place in the training session. Mr. Crowe will <br />assist in selecting the appropriate planting location along the street right-of-way and the <br />best available variety. The trees will be in 3-gallon containers, weigh approximately 10 <br />lbs. each, and range from 4 - 6 feet tall. Forest ReLeaf provides free or low cost trees <br />to public agencies and nonprofit groups for planting on public or not-for-profit properties <br />only. These trees must be planted in the tree lawns. The University City Forestry <br />Commission encourages all citizens to take advantage of this offer, which will enhance <br />the City and our neighborhoods. <br /> <br />Brittany Woods Middle School PTODining Out <br />You can support by in the Loop <br />October 21 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM.
