This is open to the public, so please come and participate! There have been many. neighborhood groupS and residents requesting boule- vard tree planting this spring. , With the help of civic groups and residents, we will be working to plant close to 200 bare root trees on the City's boulevards this year and " possibly more if the demand increases' in our neighbor- hoods. Our general concern is to provide Anoka residents with a positive environment for the future. ' Last year the Anoka High School Football ,Team - assisted in planting well over 80 trees in one day in the ~outheast corner of the ,City. Our hopes are that neighborhood groups, civic organizations and the football' team will again help in our mass reforestation efforts in the future. After all, this is our city, and we all have a shared responsibility to keep it beautiful. - . For those residents inter- ested in planting a tree on the boulevard, or, if ,you have questions regarding planting location, tree species, disease and maintenance, please call Bob Muscovitz at 421-6630, Ext. 154. There are also Street Tree Planting guidelines in the lobby at Cjty Hall for your convenience. ' Many thanks go out to those groups that help us keep Anoka green.
