Both Terranova’s and Cafe Degas participated in the November 4, 2017 tree planting organized and sponsored by the group Sustaining Our Urban Landscape (SOUL) founded by Susannah Burley.   Faubourg St. John neighbors at  2816 Grand Route Saint John, 2934 Grand Route Saint John, and 2832 Ponce de Leon also received free trees.

What is SOUL?

“It’s an acronym for Sustaining Our Urban Landscape, and the idea is to work neighborhood by neighborhood to help residents form a strategic plan to reduce dramatically the amount of stormwater that goes into catch basins and the drainage system,” said Burley, who also holds a master’s degree in landscape architecture from LSU.   Quote from an article by Stephanie Bruno which you can see here:  https://soulnola.org/news/

Everyone knows money doesn’t grow on trees nor does it grow for trees.  If you would like to donate to help put more trees in the neighborhood, please contact Susannah Burley at:  (504) 616-6888 or you can donate to SOUL online at the Trust for Conservation Innovation’s website.   Learn more about donating to SOUL online at:  https://soulnola.org/donate/ or just call Ms. Burley at (504) 616-6888

City Takes Quick Action

by

treedown2015dec18The tree in front of 3309 Grand Route Saint John has been dying for quite some time. Recently, small parts of the tree have been falling on cars parked under or near the tree. This morning, a large branch ended up in the street.

I called 311 and within 30 minutes, Chief Urban Forester Bob Richards with the City of New Orleansbobrichards-bw-2015dec18 drove up in a white City pickup truck. He hopped out, grabbed the chain saw he brought with him and within just a few minutes had the pieces of the large branch loaded up in the truck.

Bob said he’ll be sending in a work order for the rest of the tree since it is clearly dead and poses a hazard to citizens. Many thanks to 311 and Bob Richards for their quick action on this hazardous situation.

This situation drives home the importance of planting the correct tree between the sidewalk and the street.

Please consider the trees in the list below when considering a tree to plant between the sidewalk and the street:

PLANTTHIS

The most important consideration in planting trees and shrubs is the planting depth. Don’t plant too deep! Plant all trees and shrubs about one inch above the surface of the existing soil. No dirt should be placed on top of the existing roots and nursery soil so as to not smother the root system. Mulch well, leaving a two inch gap around the caliper(s) of the plant.For the most efficient use of water, construct an earthen berm two to three inches high around the drip zone area of the plant after planting. Water in well after planting!

PLANT IT LOW, IT WON’T GROW | PLANT IT HIGH, IT WON’T DIE

Want more information on what to plant between the sidewalk and the street?

Phone: (504) 620-2224
Fax: (504) 620-2225
info@parkwaypartnersnola.org

The Department of Parks and Parkways maintains all City trees. These include trees on public property such as neutral grounds and in parks, and trees between the sidewalk and street.

Employees at the Department of Parks and Parkways perform an enormous number of tasks to maintain and upgrade public green spaces, and to re-green and beautify New Orleans. These include:

Tree Trimming, Planting & Removal
Permitting Work on Public Trees
Mowing, Edging, Weeding, Trimming and Planting on Neutral Grounds
Maintaining equipment and facilities in Parkways parks
Annual Tree Sale
Work closely with neighborhood groups and volunteer groups both local and from out of town

The Parkways team consists of licensed arborists, licensed horticulturalists, golf course professionals, licensed landscape architects, grounds keeping specialists and the hard-working arboreal and grounds maintenance teams.

I am extremely grateful to the representative at 311 and to Bob Richards at Parks and Parkways for their quick action on the dead tree at 3309 Grand Route Saint John that was clearly posing a hazard to citizens.

Trees on the Bayou

by

by Conrad Abadie

oaktrees-nearmouth-byustjhn-nearlakeI am pro-tree plantings along Bayou St. John. But, that does not mean that the neighbors fronting the bayou should not have some say. I encourage them to notice that the lower bayou, from Mirabeau to the lake, has trees. It also has more animal life. One of the contributing factors, is the trees. There are migratory and native birds that find roosting spaces. You will see egrets, herons and ospreys in greater numbers. Seasonally, you will see migratory ducks and more pelicans. The trees not only provide cooling shade for shore animals, including humans, but for the fish along the shoreline.

BayouStJohnFor those who think the bayou “never had trees” I suggest you refer to page 5 of this post-K study that was done by experts. https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233.167/end.894.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Bayou+Plan+2006-small.pdf

Bienville and the natives had to dodge cypress while navigating the bayou. In the 90’s when we asked for the bayou to be lowered to have access to the bottom for major cleanups, large cypress stumps were exposed. North Lopez was once called Encampment Street. There the developer of Faubourg St John sent the clearing crews to make camp at the original Bayou Road, now Bell Street, to begin the clearing of the cypress swamp. Much of that cypress was milled nearby for construction of homes throughout the city.

On page 13 in this link is a list of recommended trees. Deciduous trees, such as cypress, provide shade in the hot months, color in the Fall, and bare in the Winter. Trees prevent soil erosion, prevent subsidence and do so much more.

Surely, there must be some areas along the bare expanse of the bayou where trees would be welcomed. It is important for the bayou.

Many thanks to Jared Zeller for spearheading the idea and for putting large trees along the bayou. Let’s return all of Bayou St. John to its original glory! Learn more in the link –> https://fsjna.org/2013/11/big-trees-on-the-bayou-saturday/

Every year in May, MotherShip Foundation brings 30,000 people to the banks of Bayou St. John for the Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo Music and Arts Festival. But have you ever wondered what MotherShip Foundation does after Bayou Boogaloo? Well, for the past year MotherShip has been establishing partnerships, securing sponsors, and raising over $30,000 to support its “Restore the Bayou Canopy Campaign.” With five new 200-gallon live oak trees planted along Bayou St. John earlier this year, the project has already exceeded its original goal of replacing the four live oaks that were damaged during Hurricanes Katrina and Isaac. And we’ve got more good news. This fall, MotherShip Foundation is investing another $11,000 to plant one 300-gallon live oak along with two massive 670-gallon live oaks. Yes, indeed!

On Nov. 14, 2013 from 7-10pm, MotherShip Foundation will host a fundraiser and auction benefitting the Restore the Bayou Canopy Campaign. The event will take place at Pearl Wine Co. in the American Can Building and will feature entertainment by local artists TBA. In addition to the musical entertainment, Marlin Miller—the artist who carved the public art sculpture out of the dead oak tree on the corner of Orleans Ave and Jeff Davis Pkwy—will also be at the event to share his story and auction off a few or his one-of-a-kind sculptures. Tickets, which include wine and food, are $50 for individuals or $75 per couple—with one hundred percent of the proceeds benefiting the Restore the Bayou Canopy Campaign. Following the fundraiser on Nov. 16, all are invited to witness and celebrate the major tree planting on Bayou St. John.

100 Broad Trees

by

100 Trees

Support the greening of Broad and Bayou Road!

 

What is the project?  What are the benefits to the community?

In order to increase quality of life on the corridors, the Broad Street-Bayou Road Merchants Association has prioritized increasing landscaping along Broad and Bayou Road.  Focusing on street trees, the association has identified approximately 150 locations in which new trees could be planted.  The cost for each tree (including the tree, sidewalk cutout, installation, and watering equipment) is $250 through a partnership with Parkway Partners.  The total project cost comes to $37,500, which pays for 150 trees.  Funds will be used to partner with Parkway Partners in achieving the goal of planting 100-150 trees along Broad Street and Bayou Road.  By creating an inviting, pedestrian-friendly environment, the project will impact all business and property owners, encouraging more of the 35,000 vehicles per day that drive through the corridors to stop and shop, dine, or live near the tree-lined streets.  Additionally, 100 trees will help with water management on the corridor, helping store and gradually release storm water during rain events. 

 When will the project be implemented?

The project will run from August 2013 to May 2014, with fundraising and building community partnerships from August to October, and plantings beginning with the planting season in November, and running through May. 

 What are the goals?

The success of 100 Trees on Broad and Bayou Road will be evaluated through the measure of number of trees planted and cared for.  In the first year, BCC and the merchants association plan to

  • raise at least $25,000
  • partner with at least 20 merchants or property owners for tree plantings, and
  • plant 100 trees along the corridor.

The program will also be evaluated according to its educational component, in that the merchants association and Parkway Partners will work with each partnering merchant or property owner in education on proper tree maintenance and care.  Measures of success for the educational component include:

  • 100% of partners are trained in tree care,
  • 100% report that their trees have received correct and consistent care after 6 months, and
  • 100% of trees survive after 1 year.

In order to sustain and expand 100 Trees on Broad and Bayou Road, the program will need to secure future funding.  In the future, the project could be expanded to include trees and landscaping in the neutral ground, rain gardens, or benches.  The merchants association plans to sustain the program through a percentage contribution for trees from merchants and property owners, online campaigns, fundraising events, and future grants.  Parkway Partners has also offered its continued partnership in the program’s development and sustainability.

 How can I contribute?

If you are interested in supporting the purchase of a tree for the Broad Street and Bayou Road corridors, see the PayPal button or donation form.  All contributions will help us get to our first planting of 5 or more trees in the fall!  Donations are accepted by credit card or check.  The merchants association will provide honorary plaques placed next to sponsored trees for donations of more than $250, which can be a great way to celebrate and honor loved ones.  All donations are tax-deductible.

  • $25 pays for watering equipment for a tree.
  • $100 supports the purchase of a small tree on Broad or Bayou Road.
  • $250 supports the purchase of a large tree (live oak, etc.) for Broad or Bayou Road.

 $1000 supports the purchase of four trees to enhance a storefront on Broad or Bayou Road.

Can my family or business be a sponsor of the program?Sponsorships are also available for businesses or individuals interested in being involved with the project.  Sponsors will be promoted through signs in designated high-visibility areas throughout the corridors, as well as through honorary plaques placed next to sponsored trees.  Please contact info@broadcommunityconnections.org if you would like to be involved in sponsoring 100 Trees on Broad and Bayou Road.

  • $500- Green sponsor
  • $1000-Gold sponsor
  • $5000—Presenting sponsor

 

How can I get street trees in front of my Broad Street/ Bayou Road business?

If you are a business or property owner interested in participating in the greening of Broad and Bayou Road, please contact Broad Community Connections at info@broadcommunityconnections.org. 

Partnership with 100 Trees on Broad and Bayou Road entails:

  • A commitment to participate in an educational course in tree care through Parkway Partners
  • A commitment to water and care for adopted trees

 A contribution of 20 percent of the cost of adopted trees

We look forward to working with you!
