Tree Plantings for Trails

Trees Forever along with Alliant Energy has announced a program called "We Dig Your District" to plant trees in each of the five Cedar Rapids City Council Districts. They are asking for suggestions for locations (including trails) that could benefit from a few well-placed trees. See the Trees Forever web site for more information.

LCTA would like to submit suggestions for one or more of the council districts. Please post comments here with trail locations, trail parking lots or other trail related location that additional trees would contribute to a healthier and more beautiful community. Include a description of what makes this location special and how trees would make a difference at this site. Alternatively, you are welcome to submit your suggestion directly to Trees Forever as described on their web site.

Important: The deadline for submission is February 25!

We are currently in the process of identifying sites for We Dig Your District 2007!...

We really enjoyed working with you [LCTA] last year and would like to encourage your members to nominate sites, trails or otherwise, for the program. The deadline is in mid-March, but the earlier you submit your sites, the better.

More details and a submission form can be found on the Trees Forever website.
