Neighborwoods Helping ReTree Tulsa Neighborhoods
Friday, June 26th, 2009
Up With Trees is sponsoring this new program to help all Tulsa County homeowners replace or add a new tree in their front yards. This is an affordable way to replace one of your ice damaged trees and have help with planting it, if needed.
Environmentally, this is a very good action for all Tulsans. The trees will provide much needed shade to reduce heat and will help clean the air of damaging carbons. Keeping our air cleaner makes us all healthier.
Please go to the following site to access more information.
PreserveMidtown thinks this is a great program for Tulsa and many thanks to Up With Trees for sponsoring it. We are very fortunate to have this organization in Tulsa.

There has not been a new comprehensive plan to guide Tulsa development in more than 30 years! Our city desperately needs to look forward to where we want growth and development in our city now. Our future success and economic progress will depend on this document.
When you go to the PlaniTulsa site, there will be ample information about each of the four plans available to you. You will be able to access the information you need to evaluate each of the four options.
Please consider this a very important civic duty to help plan Tulsa’s future.
We at PreserveMidtown take this process very seriously and endorse everyone’s participation in this last public planning step. Please join us in this most important effort for Tulsa’s future.
