WEEK 3
Focus Events in LA, Shreveport, and Sacramento
NeighborWoods Month
is at the halfway point, and there are still many ways to get
involved! This week, 53 organizations will sponsor 81 events in 52
cities around the country. Week Three of NeighborWoods Month is
headlined by three events:
*
Castle Heights Citizen Forestry Planting with TreePeople, 10/18, Los
Angeles, CA. This is the third event for this neighborhood and
they are looking to further improve their west side community by
re-foresting several streets, about one every 6 months.
* Greening of Grande Oaks II with Greenscape of
Jacksonville, 10/18, Jacksonville, FL. This initiative, which utilizes
the concept of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, is Mayor
Peyton’s Growing Great Neighborhoods partnership with residents,
neighborhood associations, business, and community and faith based
leaders to drive meaningful, measurable, and visible change.
* Oak Park Planting with Sacramento Tree Foundation, 10/18, Sacramento,
CA. This is a partnership with the CA Conservation Corps to plant in
underserved areas.
These
events are just three of 400 events this
month. Register your event today or volunteer with one near you...
there is at least one event every day!
