***********Water Alert***********
We are having a dry spring. All those beautiful trees we planted in the fall and this spring need TLC. If you are one of those individuals, please deeply water your trees so the roots get watered. You can take a hose and allow a slow drip or flow so the water penetrates the ground down to the roots.

Thank you!!! It is exciting to see the Tree Board’s first trees growing
