At the SDCC Board meeting of October 12, Alderman Lyda Krewson (D-28) announced that 465 new trees would be planted in the 28th ward this autumn. About 300 will be placed in the 28th ward portion of our neighborhood.
She said that the 26th ward portion will also receive new trees.
These trees provide natural beauty, cool us from some of the heat and humidity of a St. Louis summer, and add oxygen to the air.
Some residents, for whatever reason, do not like trees.
However, they require a little watering in their initial years and otherwise raking a few extra leaves. Trees are positive and also enhance the appearance of the neighborhood.
