GreenStreets! Meeting

Belfast has beautiful tree lined streets. Have you ever wondered where they came from? Join GreenStreets! at the Belfast Free Library for a short informative program on the street trees of Belfast. Monday evening October 17 at 6:00 PM when there will be a presentation about Belfast street tree planting, protection, and advocacy along the streets and public spaces in Belfast.

Since 1980 GreenStreets! has been planting and caring for trees all over Belfast neighborhoods from the east side to outer Main Street to the Belfast Waterfront, in City Parks, on private and public property, school yards and cemeteries, court houses and fire houses: GreenStreets has planted many hundreds of the trees we pass by every day. The presentation will include a short history of street trees in Belfast, how GreenStreets! came to be and what it does today, which trees and where have they been planted, our City Of Belfast tree ordinance, the Tree Warden’s job, City
of Belfast tree planting, how trees are protected in Belfast, the latest inventory of street trees, what does the future look like, and how can we help plant, care, and advocate for public street trees.

GreenStreets! hopes to educate the public and attract new members and supporters in our mission to plant, protect, care, and advocate for public trees. If you value street and public trees and would like to learn more about how they find a home, are cared for, and how to advocate for the trees please join your neighbors at The Belfast Free Library Abbott Room at 6:00 PM Monday October 17th .
