Parks Depatrment initiates GreensTREEts program to begin filling vacant street tree spots

In an effort to plant street trees in the approximately 4,000 vacant spots identified throughout the City, the Parks Department has initiated a new program known as "GreensTREEts."

This week, the first planting will be initiated as Parks staff will plant 24 street trees along Kansas Avenue through a partnership with the Dougherty Neighborhood Group. The trees are a variety of oaks, sycamores and redbuds and will be replacing trees lost in the 2003 tornado as well as other trees recently removed that had been determined as hazardous. The new trees were obtained from the Forest ReLeaf of Missouri Project CommuniTree and have been growing in the nursery at Stocksdale Park. Once planted, homeowners will water and nurture the tree to maturity.

The Parks Department is looking for other neighborhoods that may be interested in partnering through the GreensTREEts Program to enhance the streetscapes of our community. For more information, contact Chris Wilson at cwilson@ci.liberty.mo.us." 

Christmas Tree Recycling Program is a huge success!

As in years past, residents were able to recycle their trees either at City or Bennett Park. This year Liberty residents saved 550 Christmas trees from landfills by taking advantage of the free recycling opportunity. The trees have been ground into mulch that will be used on natural surface trails in City parks.
