Trees Begin New Lives in "The Avenues"
Saturday, October 24, 2009, was tree planting day in "The Avenues" of north central Terre Haute, thanks to an ALCOA grant. Bright and early Saturday morning approximately 150 city government people, TREES Inc. personnel, and local volunteers from Rose Hulman Institute of Technology, Saint Mary of the Woods College, and Wal Mart descended on the staging area at Spencer F. Ball Park at 14th St. and 8th Avenue. Nourishment, instructions, and training for the 13 planting teams were distributed.
Next, the teams dispersed to numerous locations in the area where trees, mulch, and stakes were lying in wait to be planted on previously selected and approved locations. TREES Inc. supervisors insured that each team followed proper planting procedures.
Among species planted were locust, sycamore, oak, gingko, and sweetgum. All were good sized with large root balls. Teamwork was a must to get the trees planted.
The plantings were completed by slightly after noon. It was a super day for the Terre Haute community. Thanks so much to all who came to volunteer their help.
