The Quality of Life Coalition and our Committee for a Green Hoboken are seeking volunteers to “adopt” one (or more, if possible) of these new trees. YOU are invited to be a “Treekeeper” who will care for your adopted tree through the Spring of 2012. Your primary responsibilities are:

1. To provide 20 gallons of water per week through October 2011;
2. Advise the Hoboken Shade Tree Commission if a tree takes a turn for the worse by contacting Shade Tree Commissioner Steve Fahmie at steve34@gmail.com.

You will have the opportunity to select a tree(s) of your choice. Contact Steve Fahmie at the e-mail above giving you name, address, email and phone number. He, in turn, will contact you with a list of the new trees that are in your general vicinity from which you may select your adopted tree(s).

Thank you for responding to this opportunity to take a personal interest in how trees are able to grow and thrive in Hoboken. The neighborhood thanks you, the Quality of Life Coalition thanks you and the City of Hoboken thanks you.

We’re also seeking volunteers to adopt a sapling(s) to insure proper post planting care, thereby insuring high survival rates. Responsibilities include watering and related tree care.

Please contact James Tricarico (917) 597-7425 from the Shade Tree Commission at jamestricarico@yahoo.com to sign up! Volunteers will meet at the at the Boys & Girls Club Park located on Jefferson Street between 1st & 2nd.
