NeighborWoods

The Tree and Landscape Committee has taken and old favorite and given it a new twist. The original NeighborWoods program focused on memorial tree plantings in neighborhoods and city parks. The Tree and Landscape Committee in cooperation with the Parks and Recreation Division has revamped the program to focus on right of way plantings around the City of Fayetteville.

Businesses, organizations, neighborhoods, and/or individuals are encouraged to sponsor a section of right of way. The sponsorship includes a planting organized and executed by volunteers. The Committee is working to identify areas around town that might benefit from this type of beautification. The pilot planting began in November 2005 at Oak Plaza off of Garland Avenue, volunteers from the Tree and Landscape Committee, America in Bloom and Boy Scout Troop #116 donated to this new program. Four oak trees, liriope, and 1200 daffodil bulbs have been added to brighten the space along the parking lot. For sponsorship or volunteer opportunities contact the Urban Forester at (479) 444-3471.
