Walk audits were instrumental in doubling the town’s sidewalk-maintenance budget.

Trees for Schoolchildren
Trees are friendly to people of all ages and abilities. Each Spring , we plant trees at local schools to shade the buildings and play areas, using the planting as an enjoyable opportunity to teach children about environmental stewardship.
