The sixth seasonal reforesting of the Western New York Area by Re-Tree WNY commences this Saturday in 13 municipalities and the City of Buffalo.
1,700 street trees will be planted by the all-volunteer army trained and assembled by Re-Tree WNY and includes the efforts of 48 City of Buffalo block clubs.
Trees are being off-loaded on Thursday and Friday at two sites, 1120 Seneca Street near Babcock in South Buffalo and 1042 North Forest near Sheridan in Williamsville. Distribution to all locations will be done from these addresses.
Planting in all areas will be at 9AM on Saturday, and will continue until complete. Some municipalities are extending the effort to additional days, as-needed. The Tonawanda planting will be around the Parker Boulevard area and is coordinated with Bradley Rowles, Superintendent of Highways with the Town of Tonawanda. One large Buffalo planting is a coordinated effort between Councilman David Rivera, The Green Fund, Grassroots Gardens, PUSH, and the Grant/Ferry Neighborhood Association.
Anyone who still wishes to volunteer: is being directed to any of the three major plantings: gather at the Re-Tree WNY 14th Street Tree Farm (307 14th Street between Vermont and Rhode Island Streets) for the City of Buffalo; at 333 Dexter Terrace in Tonawanda; or Union & North Forest Roads (Forest Elementary School) in Williamsville.
All sites gather at 9AM - come dressed to plant, with gloves and equipment.
