Summary

For the first time in their 4 years of participation, the weather kept this powerhouse group from planting their norm of 20+ trees during their GreenSpace summer. Jessica & URI welcome Abraham as co-leader this year. This dynamic duo looks forward to transitioning from a marathon planting style of few events with more trees to a steadier schedule of more events with fewer trees, a style that may appeal to more participants. In this way the group plans to maintain similar tree planting goals while prioritizing the community building cornerstone goal of the program.
