By the time you read this, a Magnolia Tree should have been planted in three of the six Cul De Sacs lacking a tree. The three were chosen because residents of Canterhurst Circle, Crooks Way Circle and Springland Court volunteered to assist with watering the tree when planted. Letters were also mailed to residents of Travelers Way Circle, Mantle Court and Hambleton Way Circle but no replies were received agreeing to water a tree if planted. If you live in one of the three locations not receiving a tree and wish to assist with watering a tree if planted, please send an email to [email protected].

This is an ongoing project and if the initial project is successful, plans may be expanded to other types of planting for the cul de sac islands.
