The Newton Tree Conservancy will host a Fall Tree Planting for Newton residents with space on their berm. However, there’s a social twist. One person must step forward as the neighborhood leader, assembling a team of five or more neighbors within a few blocks to identify places between the sidewalk and the street to plant eight or more new trees. Homeowners in the recruited planting group each submit their own application, specifying the name of the planting group that the leader provided them. After the applications are approved, planting day will take place a few months later.
Applications are due on Sunday, June 29 for plantings in the fall.
