Thank you so much to all of the volunteers who helped to ’spruce up’ the neighborhood last Saturday! From painting the fence at Fargnoli Park to cleaning and weeding the tree wells and cleaning the sidewalks on Smith St., everyone’s contribution was greatly appreciated. Special thanks to the project leaders, Everett Brooks and the Johnson & Wales students and, of course, the PC students who volunteered!
Thanks as well to the EC&G volunteers and PC students who braved the rain to help plant trees the weekend before. Over 30 trees were planted throughout Elmhurst.
We’d like to keep up the momentum with tree planting and are looking for volunteers for this Spring to assist with planting on Pleasant Valley Parkway. The more volunteers we have, the more trees we will request. Please ‘contact us’ if you are interested. Thank you.
For more information on obtaining trees free of charge from the City of Providence, please visit the Providence Neighborhood Planting Program’s web site, www.pnpp.org. All you need are 5 residents per street to ’sign on’ in order to be considered. The deadline for Spring planting is Dec. 1.
