WEEK 5
Final Week of Focuses on Boston and Des Moines
NeighborWoods Month
enters the final week of the 2008 campaign with 28
organizations sponsoring 46 events in 27
cities around the country. Week Five of NeighborWoods Month is
headlined by two events:
* Members' Tree Planting with the Boston Urban Forest
Coalition on 10/29 in the Southwest Corridor Park in Boston,
Massachusetts. Coalition members, along with the
State’s Executive Office of Energy and
Environmental Affair will plant 15 mature
crabapple trees at this heavily-used, model environmental justice,
urban park.
* Hoover High School Planting with Trees Forever on 11/1 in Des Moines,
Iowa. This is the third of three NeighborWoods Month campus
revitalization projects with area high school environmental
science classes.
These
events are just two of 400 events this
month. Register your event today or volunteer with one near you...
there is at least one event every day!
