April 2007


WOW! 53 volunteers planted 745 trees and shrubs in about 2 hours.

THANKS! And a hug to Lisa Bower, forester, Ohio Division of Forestry
for bringing her knowledge and tools, for working so hard. Thank you
Stephanie Suter and Kelly McCutcheon for donating leftover trees from
the Franklin Soil and Water District Sale which brought the grand
total of trees planted to 745. Thank you Randy Navaroli from ThisWeek
newspaper for the article earlier this week that brought more tree
planters to our event. Thank you Paul Bingle, Adena Brook Community
fiscal agent, and his wife, Linda Paul, Earth Share coordinator for
taking time from their busy schedules to join us. Thank you Bill
Platt for taking pictures of the event. Thank you Graham School
students and staff for volunteering and letting us park in their lot.
Thank you to all the Adena Brook neighbors and others who made the
expression, “Many hands make light work,” real.

Happy Earth Day–
Susan

We’re meeting Saturday, April 21 from 9-11 am to plant hundreds of trees in the area near the intersection of Indianola and Overbrook. If driving, please park at the Graham School on Indianola. Remember to bring gardening gloves and a shovel or trowel. Can’t dig? This is also a prime time to pull garlic mustard.

Our website is in a state of transition. We have a designer working on creating a new online image, but in the meantime we’ll be using blog software to get information to you while allowing you to comment on what we’re posting, the work being done in the area, and anything you feel is related to the Adena Brook Community.
