Re-Tree WNY is at it again planting another 1,700 street trees by the all-volunteer group of people who were trained and assembled by Re-Tree WNY and includes the efforts of 48 City of Buffalo block clubs. The Linwood assosciation worked with them last spring to put in about 50 trees in my district, and it's my opinion that they are one of the best organizations currently in wny.

Planting in all areas will be at 9AM on Saturday. The Tonawanda planting will be around the Parker Boulevard area and is coordinated with Bradley Rowles, Superintendent of Highways with the Town of Tonawanda and the Buffalo planting is a coordinated effort between Councilman David Rivera, The Green Fund, Grassroots Gardens, PUSH, and the Grant/Ferry Neighborhood Association.

Anyone who still wishes to volunteer is being directed to any of the three major plantings: gather at the Re-Tree WNY 14th Street Tree Farm (307 14th Street between Vermont and Rhode Island Streets) for the City of Buffalo; at 333 Dexter Terrace in Tonawanda; or Union & North Forest Roads (Forest Elementary School) in Williamsville.�

All sites gather at 9AM - come dressed to plant, with gloves and equipment.

I won't be at the sites above because Terry and I will be putting more trees in the midtown section of the city, but we could use helping hands too.

This program is so great for the city, if you have free time this is a great way to spend it!

Hey peeps, be a proud Buffalonian today! Make sure you make the time today to get out and vote.
