1. Treez Please First Spring Planting - Friday April 30th, 5pm & Saturday 9am-12pm

Friday (April 30th, 5pm):  Meet at the YSU Grounds Storage (in Smoky Hollow - below Rayen Ave.) If you go to the MVR and then take the first street east you will run into the grounds area.  We will be loading and delivering 3 large trees so we need about five strong people  to move the trees from YSU to Midlothian and Wick Park (we have a trailer - just a matter of rolling them on). It should take about an hour and a half to do it all--load at YSU and deliver to the two locations.

Saturday (May 1st, 9am): Treez Please will be planting 3 large trees on Midlothian.  The holes will be dug by Second Nature. The group will get the trees in the holes, mulch and water. Park at IPE field which is just north of 680 at Midlothian (going toward Struthers). Then to Wick Park to replace 2 trees that didn't survive the winter. Bring a shovel and gloves (though we will have some cloth gloves from previous jobs). Rain date - Sunday (only if weather is severe). For any questions contact Jean Engle  (330-518-2223  jsengle@ysu.edu ) or Susie Beiersdorfer (330-881-1050   slbeiersdorfer@neo.rr.com)
