Summary

The Chatham Square Neighborhood Association Greenspace spent the summer focusing street trees. UI cut several trees on Downing street near Chatham st. and residents were eager to replace the losses. 10 trees were planted this year in addition to 1 remediated lead yard. The group was incredibly enthusiastic and worked well together. Kids often came out to help and there was a lot of community building, beautification, and fun shared.
