After minor grade modifications necessary for the new trail link, native grasses and wildflowers will be planted, and also a small rain garden demonstration project will be created in boulevard area. After the 2 to 4 year establishment period for the plantings, the new pollinator -friendly habitat will look something like the two examples below: More information on this project and its many benefits, may be found under the April 19th Public Works Committee agenda on the City's web site, or by contacting me via phone or e-mail. The last dimension of this project and also the subject of this invitation to you, is the planting of three oak trees on the site. This is scheduled for 6:30 PM on May 12th, 2016 and will also include the Park and Recreation Commission regular monthly meeting in your neighborhood. This tree planting shall be the City's 2016 Arbor Day event, and we encourage you and your family to participate in this informal affair. (In the event of inclement weather, the Arbor Day planting will occur the following Monday the 16th at the same time and location— 7065170th Trail.) I hope to see you there!
