For people active in environmental education, it can be difficult to know what else is going on in other parts of the city. This workshop is an opportunity for people interested in environmental education to get together and share ideas and resources and plan together for the future. This workshop will teach blockwatch leaders and others about basic street care that will help street trees in your neighborhood flourish.

Participants can sign up for tree planting training and trees to be planted in the fall.
Many neighborhoods are successfully creating greening projects in their communities. Projects include tree planting, creating small neighborhood parks out of vacant lots, planting flowers and bulbs and many more. Hear about successful projects from local leaders and learn what it takes to green your neighborhood. Several groups and individuals throughout the City have programs and ideas to reclaim these sites. This workshop offers people a chance to learn about current efforts, share ideas, and potentially develop a concerted plan of action to plan and tend these open space areas.
