Plant a tree?
So I was thinking of participating in the Re-TreeWNY program.
You have to join as a group and I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in creating an (e:strip) group to plant some trees.
It is a bit of a time commitment, but it there's quite a while until the actual planting to get your schedules organized.
We have to register by August 8. Then the dates are:
October 11 & 18 - Training dates - Locations to be announced
November 7 - Pick-up of trees by organizations
November 8 & 9 - Planting of Trees
So in reality it's only 2 maybe 3 days that you would actually have to show up. The first is a mandatory training session in October to show us how to properly plant the trees, so they can live and flourish and so forth. Then the actual day or two of planting, I guess depending on how ambitious we are. It's your chance to actually have a little bit of choice in the planning and beautification of our city. Each group is assigned a specific parcel, and we actually get to choose which types of trees go where on our parcel, pretty neat, eh?
So comment if you're interested so I can get a feel for how many are interested and hopefully we can do this.

Kabir once wrote:
Bada hua to kya hua, jaise ped khajoor
Panthi ko chaya nahin, phal laage ati door
Translated:
What is the point of being alive and growing tall, as a date palm tree
That gives no shade to the weary traveler and bears fruits too far away to pick.
