Arbor Day/Earth Day-Chris will contact Ember in Open Space Dept to coordinate <br />activities, possibly combine with John Breaux cleanup day. <br /> <br />VII. Tree planting at John Breaux Memorial Plaza-Chris suggested planting a red oak. <br />He is concerned about the possibility that asphalt under the current planting may lead to <br />compaction of tree roots, suggests vertical mulching to alleviate poor soil condition. He <br />will do soil test before planting. <br /> <br />VIII.
