C Street Beautification

RCA (Rosedale Citizens Alliance) has been collaborating with DDOT's Urban Forestry Administration (UFA) to replant missing and dead trees along the curbsides of C Street, NE from 21st to 15th Streets.

UFA's Michael Chuko, ISA Certified Arborist, has just informed RCA that his team will be replanting the requested trees (saplings) this fall! The tree species include sweet-gum, sycamore, black-gum, depending on availability.

RCA has requested, and volunteered to distribute, informational fliers requesting residents adopt the saplings and inform them how to nurture, maintain and who to contact if problems arise. Michael stated UFA will provide informative "door-hangers" and inquire about the feasibility of fliers with the above information.

Thanks UFA, especially Michael Chuko, for working with us and providing our neighborhoods with an invaluable living resource that will hopefully last a lifetime!
