New trees for Abell, planting begins April 26

Join Your Neighbors Saturday, April 26 at 10 AM to Plant Trees on Abell Avenue

The Abell Improvement Association has created a Tree Committee to plant more trees in our neighborhood and to improve the health of our existing trees. New trees will be planted in existing tree pits on April 26.

Benefits of Trees:

•Provide shade and cooling

•Managing stormwater

•Providing oxygen

•Absorbing and storing carbon

•Adding beauty to our community

•Providing habitat

What Trees Need:

•Lots of water during their first two years and during droughts

•No trimming the first two years

•Mulch around the base (but not touching the trunk)

•No barriers to block runoff or raise the level of the soil

•Wide tree pits for the roots
