Covington Urban Forestry Board and the city’s Forestry Division are holding their biannual community tree plant in the Peaselburg neighborhood on Nov. 2.

According to a press release from the city, the initiative’s goal is to have 52 trees or more in the ground along Russell Street and W. 20th St.

Volunteers should meet just before 9 a.m. in the parking lot at Glenn O. Swing Elementary School, 501 W. 19th St. They will then fan out, working until noon or all the trees are planted.

Volunteers are encouraged to wear boots or sturdy shoes, gloves, and to bring a shovel. Refreshments will be provided by Keep Covington Beautiful.
