The Greening of 4th Avenue Continues

Forth on Fourth Avenue, a new Park Slope Civic Council Committee, has made serious strides “greening” 4th Avenue. The group kicked off its efforts during the Civic Sweep in April, cleaning up, planting and installing tree guards around 17 tree beds on or close to 4th Avenue. (The trees pictured are on the corner of Butler Street.) And there’s more where that came from: The group just received a small grant from MilliontreesNYC, which will allow for more tree beds to be put in. Forth on Fourth also encourages adoption of trees by local residents and businesses. The kickoff events for work with the MilliontreesNYC grant is this coming Saturday from 12:30pm to 4pm. The group will be working on the tree beds in front of the Arias (150 4th Avenue) and in front of the apartment at 126 4th. Tools and gloves will be provided.
