A big thank you to the Ashton Heights Civic Association (AHCA) for their Tree Canopy Campaign! In December, volunteers planted three trees at Columbia Gardens, part of 92 young canopy trees that were installed throughout the neighborhood. Trees come with a post and sign identifying their species. They are 2-5 feet tall and will start growing right away. AHCA received a state grant to fund a total of 120 trees and will be planting 38 more trees in March. Would you like a young tree in your yard? Contact brooke.alexander52@gmail.com for a consultation.

Pictured at Columbia Gardens are (L-R): Ron Rosenberg, AHCA representative; Daun Frankland, cemetery owner; Brooke Alexander, Co-Chair, Tree Canopy Campaign: and volunteer installers Nancy Hopper and Mike Brown.
