Summary

The Bradley Street Tree Planters are a hard working group in their fourth year of the URI community greenspace program. For the past few years they have focused efforts on increasing the number of street trees on their block, the majority of which have required the hard work of concrete and asphalt removal. The street is now a mix of large shade trees and beautiful flowering ornamental trees, and the group plans to add more trees, perennial beds, and grassy lawns this fall after the sidewalks on Bradley are replaced by the city.
