| The 2022 Adopt-A-Tree program was deferred to 2023 and will be completed by late spring/early summer. Due to overages in the 2022 Grounds spending, the Adopt-A-Tree program was able to modify its planned approach and reduce spending by 80%, saving ~$2.5K. We are seeking additional interest in those willing to help plant the ~12-15 trees that homeowners have volunteered to purchase and maintain. If interested in supporting a planting day in ~May/June please contact Chris Korjenek (ckorjenek@gmail.com) and John Hagerbaumer (hagerbmr@gmail.com). Summary of program and update: – ~10 homeowners signed up with interest to volunteer to purchase a tree(s) – Homeowners selected 5 common court areas and 3 community areas (Donges Bay entry-way and near clubhouse/field) for planting – Marking of planting locations and review with Grounds/local residents will occur in late spring – Trees will be procured from Minors nursery – LDC will sponsor the planting materials, watering bags, and deer protection – Homeowners/volunteers will assist with planting – Homeowners/volunteers will provide watering until established Due to the budget, any additional interest is closed for the 2023 season and requests will be evaluated for continuation in future years. Thanks, John Hagerbaumer hagerbmr@gmail.com 224.282.6522 |
