ADOPT-A-TREE

Many of you have probably noticed the beautiful daffodils popping up along Church Avenue. We thank all of the volunteers who came out on Daffodil Day last October to plant them. Now these flowers and the trees that they're planted next to need your help to thrive.

Please consider adopting one (or more!) of the twenty trees on Church Avenue between Ocean Parkway and 36th Street. Adopting a tree is easy. Just send us an e-mail (karmabrooklyn@gmail.com) expressing interest, and we'll send you a tree pit care guide to get you started.

Taking care of your tree should only take about ten hours per year. KARMA will hang a laminated sign on your tree that reminds people to curb their dogs. The sign will list you as the tree's guardian. You can choose the name or organization's name to put on the sign.

Parents! This is a great way to instill civic responsibility in your young ones. It's also a great opportunity to teach them about life cycles and plants. If you participate in the Adopt-A-Tree program, you can do so as a family and put more than one name on the sign.

Once all of the trees are adopted, KARMA plans to surround all of the trees on Church Avenue with tree pit guards.

If we keep our trees beautiful, it's likely that we'll be able to get more trees planted along Church Avenue and other Kensington streets!
