The Greening of Cold Springs...

1 Comments Published by fixBuffalo on 5/08/2008 at 3:21 PM.

Volunteers from two of Buffalo's most amazing new organizations - Queen City Farm and Buffalo ReUse - gathered last Saturday to plant trees in the city's Cold Springs neighborhood. Here, one of the teams is planting a chestnut tree on Woodlawn Avenue alongside the new home of the Arts Academy. The trees were supplied by Re-TreeWNY.

According to Rod McCallum, project coordinator from Queen City Farm, neighbors joined in and a total of 150 trees were planted. Both of these organizations are helping to transform this neighborhood in ways that might have been unimaginable just a year ago. If you haven't checked out the ReUse store for your renovation and building needs you really should. And for the foreseeable future, every Saturday is a community work day at Queen City farm.
Come on over and get involved!

There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask
of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served.
- Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) from The Death and Life of Great American Cities, 1961.
