To all friends & neighbors
At one time in Quincy's history, Maine street and many others were flanked by large trees whose branches met in the middle to form a leafy canopy.
Over the years we have lost many of those trees to disease, weather or human interference. We now have gaping holes where majestic trees once stood. There is now a grass roots effort in our city to replant trees and rebuild the Maine Street canopy. A tree lined street is magical. Trees not only provide shade, they also clean and cool the air we breathe, their roots prevent runoff that carries pollutants to our rivers and streams. Proper placement of trees will reduce energy costs by as much as 50%!
Our first target area is 12th to 24th on Maine Street. We invite everyone to join us in our campaign. We have a variety of well chosen trees, suitable for our area from which to choose. Each tree will be planted with root hormone, fertilized, wrapped, mulched & watered for the first year as a service to you. We are asking you to dig deep and give green to this most worthy cause, not just for you but for your children and the coming generations. As a bonus you can memorialize a loved one with a tribute stone, of granite, cemented in place near your tree.
We appreciate your time and
consideration of this worthy cause.
