The goals of Union Electric’s Green Leaf program are to improve energy conservation and air quality by the planting of trees and greenery.
To select cities where this should occur, U.E. accepts grant proposals from not-forprofit organizations. SDCHC acquired property in the 500 block of Des Peres in August 1991. SDCHC leveraged its resources to acquire the property and tear down an obsolete, non-conforming commercial structure. SDCHC sought assistance from U.E.’s Green Leaf grant program in landscaping the vacant lot, a longtime neighborhood eyesore. SDCHC sought assistance in landscaping this lot in accordance with its long-standing neighborhood plan for the “Greening of Des Peres.” This lot is to be maintained as the fifth in a series of. pocket parks along Des Peres between Pershing and Washington. U.E. accepted SDCHC’s proposal to design and implement a landscaping plan. Twenty-nine trees, including White Pines, Bold Cypresses, Ornamental Pears, Red Maples, Yoshino Cherries, Washington Hawthorns, and Sweet Gums were purchased by U.E. and planted by U.E. employees according to plans developed by U.E. foresters. •
