Congratulations Aycock! We've been selected to receive the 2007 Neighborwoods Grant which will supply our neighborhood with up to 150 free trees on personal and public property.
Starting in August, we will begin working with the city and its urban landscape designers. Tree planting will occur in October or early November and will include the perimeter of Aycock Middle School, Sternberger Park and personal property. We will need hundreds of volunteers from Aycock at that time -- so clear your calendars!
Thank you to everyone for filling out your forms requesting trees and for filling out letters of support. The addition of these trees should really make an impact on the visual appeal of our neighborhood and will make our neighborhood GREEN.
Thank you, Laura, for coordinating this grant (the application for which turned out to be a book-length, exhaustive account of the neighborhood's need and support for this program).
