Tree Town

Recently 130 new trees were planted along the River Trail bike path on the Westside, between Park Row and Ramona St trail access. Native and drought-tolerant species were chosen, including five different oak species, two pine species and 40 Cercis Occidentalis (western redbud). A grant covers maintenance for one year, such as watering using Gator bags and stake repair. These trees will be a beautiful buffer between the freeway and the path, and help mitigate air pollution and noise.
