City of Columbia Reforestation Program
Keeping the Trees in the Forest!
An SFNA neighbor alerted us that the CoC had recently planted three trees on the 3800-3900 blocks of Yale. This was done as part of the CoC’s Forestry and Beautification Department’s Reforestation program which plants trees to replace those which die or have been removed due to safety hazards in the City’s right of way.
Tree planting is done from November to March when the trees are dormant so it is a little late for planting this season. But you can see if your property is eligible and start the process now by contacting Ann Huyler, Reforestation Program Coordinator, at ann.huyler@columbiasc.gov
Crier emails
The Crier goes out around the first of every month to keep neighbors and friends up do date on neighborhood events, and other events and information of interest.
If you have anything to share with your neighbors, please pass it along and we may include it in a future Crier.
