Want a Free Sidewalk Garden at your Home?
With the help of
Friends of the Urban Forest (FUF) some of the residents of your neighborhood
are beginning to organize a community-based Sidewalk Garden planting on Kansas and Rhode Island from 18th
to 20th (cross streets included)
FUF fundraises from generous donors to cover most of the
cost.
Planting
has many benefits:
· provides natural habitat for
· birds, butterflies and bees
· decreases sewer overflows to the bay and
ocean
· increases property values
· provides a buffer between the street and
pedestrians
·
Funding will cover all of the cost of tree planting (including concrete
removal) and FUF will assist property owners with the permitting process,
species selection, materials coordination and installation
