Vanderbilt Avenue Street Tree Care Event

Calling all Tree Huggers of Prospect Heights and surrounding neighborhoods!

The Prospect Heights Street Tree Task Force has accepted the invitation of the Vanderbilt Avenue Merchants Association to work with the merchants to enhance the health, vitality and beauty of our Vanderbilt Avenue street trees.

The Street Tree Task Force is a local volunteer organization committed to the care and maintenance of all our neighborhood's street trees.

Volunteers will aerate, fertilize and mulch the tree pits and prune tree branches on Vanderbilt Avenue.  In return, we only request our merchants to keep their tree pits free of garbage and to water the trees on a regular basis.

We would love to have as many Prospect Heights residents who can join us on June 25th to help with the tree care event.  We will need the extra help if we hope to cover Vanderbilt Avenue from Plaza Street to Pacific Street.  If you have gloves or cultivators bring them along.  We will do our best to ensure that everyone has the tools needed to do the job.  Please join us.

Date:  Saturday, June 25th
Time:  10:00 A.M. – 1:00 P.M.
Staging Area: SE Corner of Vanderbilt and St. Marks Avenues
