Arbor Day Tree Sprucing + Park Clean Up
Apr

Arbor Day Tree Sprucing + Park Clean Up

Registration encouraged! https://dash.pointapp.org/events/319119

About the event

Join us on Arbor Day weekend to spruce up the trees at Loew Park with fresh mulch, tree tags, and by pulling weeds. We will also use this time to clean up the park to keep it looking fresh for the warmer weather!

The Old Brooklyn Tree Stewards will lead attendees on a tour of the trees and provide tags in which you can name the tree and learn about its benefits!

What will volunteers do?

Volunteers will be shoveling or moving mulch in a wheelbarrow to the trees, picking up litter using buckets and pickers, pulling weeds, or lightly tying small tree tags to the trees with our tree stewards. This is a family and kid friendly event!

What will volunteers need to bring or wear?

Volunteers should wear comfortable clothes they don't mind getting dirty. Closed toed shoes are a must. Dress for the weather (i.e. sun, wind, rain). Please bring a water bottle. There will be a jug to refill on site.

Gloves, shovels, knee pads, weeders, and any other tools needed will be provided. Feel free to bring your own if you choose.

What should volunteers know about the location?

We will be meeting in the parking lot on the corner of Oak Park and W. 30th Street. You will see a sign that says Loew Park. The parking lot is next to William Cullen Bryant Elementary School.

Community Conversation with CMSD: Long-Term Facilities Planning

Cleveland Metropolitan School District is hosting meetings throughout the city to discuss important changes to the district.

CMSD has made measurable progress. We value the community’s trust as CMSD provides quality education for all students. As we assess resources and enrollment, we see opportunities to better align facilities with current needs. This alignment will help manage costs and direct more resources to education and instruction.

Together, we can make strategic decisions to invest in our schools, ensuring equitable access to high-quality education, enhancing the student experience, and supporting teaching and learning. While some choices may be challenging, our collective efforts will create a sustainable, student-centered plan to BUILD BRIGHTER FUTURES for our scholars.”
