Hi Chatham Square neighbors!

I posted a few weeks ago about the tree planting, lead remediation, and ways you can get involved with the Urban Resources Initiative's Greenspace this summer.

Our first planting day is tomorrow at 5:30 at 51 Downing.

If you missed our first meeting last week, it is definitely not too late to get involved. We plan to meet every Friday through the first week of August at 5:30.

If you put in some help with some street trees or a…

We want to continue the work this year.

I'm Ross Bernet. A recent graduate from the Yale School of Forestry. I'm doing an internship with URI Greenspace this summer. I'm looking forward to working…
