 Hey, we are live. All right. Did you find out what that tree was at the UU church? No, I never made it over there. I'm sorry. It's okay. And drove by it a dozen times. And I was always on my way rushing to get somewhere else. I never stopped. All right. It doesn't look like it's El Cobra though. It has a different. Butting. Butting structure. You know, pattern. You know, Julian's coming in and Stephen Mabee. Maybe. Oh, that could be. We want to mute everybody. Just have them. Non-committee members. To avoid. Past couple of them. Well, I'm only letting in people. I know to be involved. Okay. Go ahead, Julian. Could I get promoted? Am I on panelist? I did promote. Okay. Great. Perfect. Recording. A couple more people would be. Have a quorum. Hey, Sarah's here. Okay. Hi. We need one more person to have a quorum. Julian's here. Although he's. Doesn't have his camera on. I'm in the car driving home. So I will go home shortly. Great. Britt and Dennis can't make it, but hopefully Shashana and. Ellen will be here. I miss somebody else. No. Shashana will be on soon. All right. Alan, we just, we need to just keep waiting till we get the quorum. Yeah, we can't. We're not supposed to hold a meeting if we don't have a quorum. Okay. We will keep waiting. Sorry, everyone. So quorum is based on how many official members there are. Yes. So for. Is a quarter amount of the seven. Okay. Path to Angeles cannot make the meeting. We have such important business that we have to have it be official. Yeah. Alan says she'll be right there. All right. So we will have a quorum. I'm going to ask David Matavozian to explain. What, what's your connection to the meeting? Hi there. I was here last meeting. Mostly as an assignment because I'm a student at UMass, but this time I'm just interested in what's going on around Amherst. Great. I remember you now. Yeah. Okay. I will promote you to panelists and. And we have a quorum now so we can start meeting. I just reminded everybody that this meeting is being recorded and will be. Available to be viewed. After Friday. From this week. On the time web page. Okay. Welcome everyone. Let's see. Grab the agenda real quick. So announcements and public comments. Any public comments. Stephen Brooks or. David. Okay. Then we will take. Hours. Hours and approve the minutes. Julian is still here. Listed is here. He's driving. Yeah. He's actually disappeared. We don't have a quorum again. No, we do. We do without him. Okay. So never mind. And he'll be in soon. So all in favor of approving the minutes. Yeah. Yeah. Sarah. I wasn't at the last meeting, so I'll abstain. Okay. So who's the fourth one. No, we actually don't really have three of us here. Okay. So we'll wait on that. I can take hours though. Anyway, Sarah, how many hours. Two. Ellen. Same with me. And I probably have 10. Julian's back. How many hours, Julian. Okay. Good. All right. So once again, welcome everyone and. Let's see. So after that. We've approved the minutes we've taken the hours. Chair's report. I got an email from the Girl Scout troop that helped us a few years ago with the planting and they're eager to help us plant in April. So I'm looking forward to that very much. I hope you are too. Let's see. I have not heard from Pat to Angelus about. Having a liaison with the town council, which we agreed to last meeting. I had a question about a tree in front of the Unitarian church, which Alan and I couldn't identify, but he hasn't stopped by to look at it. So I'm waiting to get that back. The sustainability festival we're doing. April 20th, I believe is the date. And we need to decide if we want to do a demonstration, have some kind of demonstration. We've had that before. Alan, you've done something in the past or the committee could do something. Pruning or a planting demonstration or something. Is that something people are interested in? I see Sarah shaking her head. Yes. So like demonstration of how to plant a tree. Anything tree related. We could do a demonstration. We could bring leaves and do an ID thing or whatever. We'll have our booth anyway. And people will come to the booth and get info. But if we want, we can also be in the demonstration area. Okay. I think a demonstration is a great idea. Pruning is a great one. Planting. I suppose if there's a tree nearby to be planted, we could do a planting demonstration hard to do. If you're not actually putting a tree in the ground. But I think pruning is definitely a useful skill that we can show. Okay. I mean, it usually happens in the. The demonstration area, but I suppose it's a great idea. I think it's a great idea. Pruning is a great idea. Pruning is a great one. Planting. I suppose if there's a tree nearby to be planted, it might be a good idea to do a pruning workshop. Yeah. Alan, you're good to that. Yeah, I think it's a good idea. I mean, the. Historically, very low turnout for. The. Training. Area there, the center area we broke off and people can do demonstrations. Unless it's something really flashy. To not hear a lot of people, but it's still good to be there and do something. Is it, are there a lot of kids? There are a lot of kids going through, you know, if it's advertised as a child event. You know, so they publicize it and say what's happening. You know, at what time of day at the demonstration area. So it's really great. I think it's a great idea. I think it's a great idea. I think it's a great idea. I think it's a great idea. I think it's a great idea. I think it's a great idea. I think it's a great idea. I think it's a great idea. I think it's a great idea. I think it's a great idea at the demonstration area. So really publicize it as a. Children's event. You might get some people because they're always looking for things to do with your kids. Yeah. You know, you may get a good turnout. Something we could do with leaves. We could glue leaves on kids or have them glue leaves on paper. You know, something like that would be kind of one and silly. I was going to talk about this later, and it was a. Professor Ellen would. Pickle thorns activity book. It's all about urban trees. And supposedly this is a big success. It's been a big hit. With kids. And I have never seen the. This is a real character, I'm going to be picking those up hopefully tomorrow. And I'll have a better idea. What we could maybe we could integrate that into something. Yeah, that sounds great. And that could be the prize too if you successfully. Glucin leaves on a paper you get a book. Yeah, that's a good idea. I just realized we don't have a secretary. Can you take minutes? Okay, hold on. I got a switch. I'm still at work. So, yeah. If this time is difficult for people, we can change the time. I've brought that up. It's difficult now that it's nice out. But. Well, I missed the whole beginning. So. Okay. So the key is to get people's names. If you look at participants, you can see the names of the people who are here. If to click on. I've just done this weird screen mirroring mirroring thing that I cannot see. Don't worry about it. I'll figure it out. I can actually take a screenshot of the. People that are here. Okay. Okay. So I'll have the names I can add them in later. Okay. Shashana is here. Okay, good. So all right. Does someone want to grab a book from Alan and then try to come up with a plan for some sort of event that would incorporate the book. Sure, I would be happy to. Okay, great. And the woman's name who writes the book is Ellen would pickle thorn. The name of the character character. Okay. So let's see. Professor Ellen would. Prickle thorn. Okay. I was just going to do a Google search on it. Search. Good. Right. So sustainability festivals, April 20th, we will have a booth. We'll have to figure out who can staff it and when, and then maybe we'll do something if we come up with a good idea for a demonstration time. We all, even if you're not at the meeting should be reading the minutes and. You know, I noticed after everyone approved the January minutes, I was going back in and noticed that we had the wrong. The wrong date in there for something. So I did correct that before I sent them into the town website, but it'd be good to really check the minutes. Good when you get them. Okay. There's some webinars coming up urban forestry magazine. Does anyone else read that? No. You read sometimes. So it comes. Yeah, it comes every month. No, four times a year now it used to be every month from the state department of environment and conservation. DC, DCR conservation recreation. And it's a great, great newsletter. It has a lot of good information. And it's a great, great newsletter. There's an eye tree class that's going to be happening. And a couple of other ones that look good. So I will send the link out and maybe put it on the website. Or maybe posted on Facebook. Actually, Shashana, if I send it to everyone, please post it on Facebook. Okay. It's just, it's called the citizen forest. Yeah. I highly recommend reading it. And there's also other events that we can do to learn more about forestry. And street trees in particular. So I will pass that out to everyone. Alan, you'll probably talk about this, but the mass tree warrants and forest association meeting is coming up March 21st. Yes. Something now. It's some, it's in North Hampton. It's the Western mass chapter. We have. We have alternatives to petroleum. Based. Tree care items. So like one is. Non petroleum based like barn chain oil. Fluids and oils and things to use on machine equipment. They're all non petroleum based. Certified to be used with the type of equipment. And then the other one is using a battery powered equipment. Non petroleum powered equipment in the tree care industry. The main presentation for the evening. Is actually sort of advanced first aid refresher. So it's going to be, you know, Stop the bleed sort of things. Turn it, how to use a tourniquet. Things that if you work, you know, and around Shoenery. And tree care industry. Things do that are beyond first aid. Just until the ambulance gets there. So. Hi. I'm sorry. I just have two questions. I'm just catching up. Did we designate where the second Saturday planting is on April 13. That's on the agenda. Yeah, I thought we decided that. Yeah, South Amherst Common. Yeah. Okay. What's your other question. Alan just attended the Western mass chapter of what. So that's, that's what's coming up. It's an upcoming evening. The Western mass chapter of mass free wardens evening is a dinner meeting where we have talks. And it's a, it's open to anybody in the green industry, citizen committees, free wardens, three care people. The date again, March. 21st. At the blue bonnet diner. In North. Yeah. All right, I'm caught up. Julian and I have attended in the past and you get to meet some other people from other three committees and people working for different tree companies and some interesting stuff that happens. Julian and I both spoke at it actually one time. Yeah. All right. Yeah, I know. Shawna, you were going to meet with the South Amherst library. Did that happen? Yep. Yeah, we set up a thing. We had a meeting with a couple of people. And they picked out some stories that we could read. That would be like, you know, tree appropriate that we could do with kids to make it like a kid friendly event. And I was planning on bringing snacks and inviting people to read poetry about trees. And I've made a event on Facebook that if you guys are on Facebook, I'm going to show you some of the things that I'm going to show you. I'm going to show you some of the people that. Are going to say that they're going to go on Facebook. The more people will see it. Like, even if you don't plan on going to say that you're going to go. And then we'll make it better. Well, it's also good to have a big crowd. We can plant more trees. So yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just done. Sure. Yeah. So. As we're planting trees or is this taking place before after? How is. How we work in that? Well, I have. Like this would happen. Like. Like a whole thing would happen with the, the tree. There's like this one tree that's supposed to be for the, the retired person. Right. So. You know, you know, you know, you want to plant the tree and then, um, and then after that trees planted, you know, one of us could stick with that gang and, you know, talk about the importance of trees and, you know, what the tree committee does and read a story to them and. It's next. So do we want to schedule a time now and just say, you know. Yeah. Yeah. So the last tree replant will be. The noon at the 1130. At the months of library sort of. I think that's good to do it toward the end. Cause the Girl Scouts are coming to help plant trees. I don't want them to get sidetracked into something else. Um, But it's great. I mean, do we want, I mean, we usually plant from nine to. No noon. Do we want to say so 1130. 1130 something like that. Yeah. I think that's great. Yeah. Okay. All right. Thanks for Shawna. Um, we might as well, um, I don't think, let's see if I have anything else. Oh, the table. Um, The Mary Maple table, uh, the library is going to take it, but they don't want it until. Um, the new library is built. So we're talking to Brit about this. She suggested maybe we can, um, have it go to town hall. But we need someone to go talk to town manager or somebody at town hall and get that figured out. Does anybody want to do that? I could go do that. Great. Thanks. Okay. And, um, yeah, Ellen, you were going to make a plaque for that. Yes. Okay. So before it goes anywhere that, that should be done. Okay. Good. All right. And I think that's all I have for me. Uh, Julian vice chair. Hi. Yes. Um, could I get promote panelists on my computer? I just joined in. Okay. I did that once, but here I did it again. Good. There you are. Sorry about that, everybody. Um, anyway, vice chairs update. Yes. To what you said, the sustainability festival on the 20th. Um, I understand that. Um, it's on the 20th or the hours 10 to four. Is that correct? Um, I don't know the hours. Yeah. Right. There's a set up time really going to be there a little earlier set up. Okay. Sounds good. Um, So that, and then the other thing that I was going to share in my vice chairs report. Uh, you mentioned something to Henry. Um, it was with the towns. Uh, Oh, I think it was the towns. Oh, right. No, it was the town. Uh, I was wondering when, if we'll be able to get all the stumps ground on the south Amherst common before it goes through. Good question. Um, so we have, um, we just took down a dead nori maple. We have a, another tree. It's an almost going to be coming down. Possibly another nori maple. Um, I would like to think we will be able to, our stumps ground is still not functioning a hundred percent. Kind of works for a while and decides it doesn't want to work. Uh, some kind of computer issue that they. Manufactured the sales. Folks that sold it to us. Can't seem to fix. They don't. Can't find the problem. So, um, So I think we can do that. Awesome. Thanks. Um, I think that's all I have. I have something for social media though. Okay. We'll wait on that. I guess. Um, yeah. Okay. The treasures report, Sarah. Yes. Uh, our current balance is $9,355 and 29 cents, which is no change going back to September when we, um, stopped our plantings. Um, There's a $48 incumbrance on the account, which is dedicated to Amherst nurseries. Um, I guess their bill came in $48 less, or we were expecting more trees. They weren't able to get something to that effect where we have essentially a $48 credit that's tagged for Amherst nurseries that hasn't been. Cashed in. Um, So, um, I think we often have the $48, not no longer be encumbered is for Allen to just send an email. Um, saying this. No longer needs to be. Dog-eared for Amherst nurseries. Um, and then that will be taken care of. So just a simple email letting them know that that's. No longer needs to be. Put aside. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Reans comments in the background. Yes. I apologize. Alan tree warden's report. Oh, just, I guess. Updates of the ceilings at order. They'll be here. I believe the first week of April. For our day for our, for a month. There were trees at order. They'll also going to be here in April. I'm working out. I'm going to get the date when those ceilings. Sorry, the bear root plant stock will be available. That's the meeting. That's for the tree nursery. Yes. Great. I'm meeting with the consultant. A contractor who is doing the North. Amherst common renovation project. And they're, they're using the same nursery that I bought the. Bear root stock from Bigelow nursery. And so I'm just meet them to go tag the trees that are going to be installed on the common. At the big, at the nursery in April. So I'm trying to coordinate. The arrival of the bear root. Tagging the trees and then bringing the bear root stock back with me. So. Let's see. And we talked about the. If I can interrupt. The witch hazels are also on order. They'll come in sometime in early April to me. They'll be ready for. Yeah. We talked about the booth. Coming up with a plan. The booth was something I wanted to talk about. We also have to. Come up with a schedule of events for over a month. So. Because we need to do the proclamation. And we need to. You know, have that as part of the proclamation. So. I think the town council can. Publicize it as they do their proclamations. So if we can, at some point during this meeting, come up with. Dates and. Happenings that we will forward on to the. Town council for their other day proclamation. Let's see. I think that was all the. I just, in general, we have been very fortunate this winter. We've continued to. Do a lot of tree work trying to get caught up. Finish clearing a lot of C click fixes, which is the work across the stone we have in town. I'm down to eight C click fixes. One of them I have to wait till the trees and leaf. Because it requires us to prune a honey locust tree, which. Is much, you can do a much better job when it's in the leaf, because it has concealed buds when they're not in leaf. And it's just difficult to tell what's dead and what's alive. On a honey locust that's never been proved in its entire life. So. That one will be here till leaf. It's been great getting caught up. And I don't have any tree hearings lined up. We've got a busy construction season. We've got a lot of sidewalks being renovated, lots of road projects going on. I don't have any. Word on in the project I've seen that's going to require trees to be removed at this phase. So. They are starting some work on Belch 10 road from. Southeast street down towards colonial village. And there are no trees currently involved in that. Part of the project. When they do the rest of Belch town road, which is not currently funded, there will be some tree impact. Most likely. As they try to improve. The sidewalks. And then in that whole road. So that's coming. That's about it. Thank you. So. So, I'm going to go back to the social media update. Yeah, absolutely. So basically on that front, I've contacted Instagram. To get the. Other account. That looks like ours that we used to use removed. And they have not gotten back to me. So I've contacted the followers who still follow that account. So. Some of them are starting to remove their subscriptions there. And move them over to the other. Current account. And as the planting season gets started, I will start posting more. Great. Thank you. Shoshana. Yeah, I posted about this meeting. I posted about, I made that event. For the second Saturday planting. And I feel like maybe I shared some other stuff, but I don't remember specifically right now. Great. All right. Yeah. And don't forget everyone that we should. You know, click going on the event that Shoshana created. For the April, April 13th. Yeah. All right. And speaking of April 13th, we're on presentations and discussions. The first one is the second Saturday work days. So I'm looking forward to that one very much. Alan, is it where we set for locations? Well, we have locations for April. May is going to be rambling road. June. Was going to be North Hampton road. And that's about as far as we've gotten. Okay. I meant though. Locations. If you have any specific location trees, have you cited all the trees are going to plant in April? Oh, in April, I'm sorry. I have, I have cited all the trees. Around the common and Jason. And you staking them. Do you have the little sign we used to put on the stakes? I'm going to be putting the stakes out and marking for dig safe. Either this week or next week. So I can print out more of those signs. I can put them on the stakes. You know, a week before. Great. Put them on the stakes. All right. If you need that, I probably still have it somewhere. The original. I think I have the, I have the. You know, the file, I can print it out. Great. Great. And do we need to be worried about. Lawn mowers crashing into these trees that we're planting. Yes. Is it possible to put. Plastic in the tree? Is that too much work? Yeah, I should invest. We've talked about this in the past with the committee. Invest in, they do make a. Plastic. It's a PVC kind of twist wrap that goes around the trunk of the tree. It's very flexible. It does. Protect the trunk quite a bit. From string tumors. Not a hundred percent, but it expands as the tree expands. It's very flexible. We're not a big fan of attaching anything to the trunk of the tree. When, especially when they're young, because it. The trunk is actually often still. You know, photosynthesizing in the younger trees. And they need to breathe and holding moisture. There's not good. But. You know, some of them. Especially where there's a. Landscape company managing. Yeah. We've lost about six trees. Country corners. Yeah, I, I tend to put. Hardware cloth, like just make a little. You know, cage around it. But maybe that's too expensive. I don't know. It's. It's time consuming to install those. We've been doing a lot of planting and we have to wrap them for. You know, We've been doing some. Rabbits and deer and stuff, but it's a, it takes a lot of time. Yeah. But if we have enough help, that's a, it's a good idea. I think. I don't like those plastic ones. The plastic gets brittle and breaks and they don't expand. So the tree grows. You have to really have to remove them. Yeah. But put them on for a few years. It'd be a great thing. Is that something one of us could buy a roll of hardware cloth? Or is that something you would need to do, Alan? If you want, if you want, if you want to do hardware class, that's something. I think on the vulnerable ones, I think we should do that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And Brooks, if you show up on the 13th, we'll put you to work on that side of things. Not like I'm an expert, but yeah, I'll, I'll get it done. Great. Good Sarah. One question, one comment. Do we need to approve funds for, from our account for Alan to buy this material for the plantings? Should I pull a form? I could use the, the new tree fund money. Capital money. Which wouldn't require that. Okay. And it's, it's a pretty minor expense. I. It is. I'm thinking so. Okay. We'll just do that. Okay. All right. And second, I don't think I'm going to make the April planting, which I'm actually really bummed to miss because all of the activities and the Girl Scout troops sounds really fun. I'm hoping that I will be able to make the sustainability festival on the 20th, but we're doing a major home renovation project and the house isn't going to be habitable for like a month. So I don't think I'm going to be able to do that. I don't think I'm going to be able to do that. I don't think I'm going to be able to do that first. I think so. Remains to be seen. I'll be in touch, but I'll try to attend as many events as possible, but probably not that first planting. Okay. All right. Good. So after the June planting. Oh. Do we do July plantings? I forget. What we do anymore. We have, I mean, we just, um, it depends on what July is going to be like. I don't remember what happened last July. I don't think we did. Maybe did a work day. July. I don't remember. But if it's not too hot in this regular precipitation, July's could be a day. You know, planting. Okay. And we should schedule the plenty of at least those two trees on station road. Okay. That was requested. Yeah. Do you think we can do a whole planting in that area? Or should that just be a. Something couple of committee members do separately. Can we do that right during the while we're on the common? I don't know where on station road. The trees are, but. Right across McGrath Park. Right across McGrath Park. Excuse me. It's like a misty, misty meadows. You mean Stanley. Stanley street. Yep. What did I say? I said, Stanley street. Sorry, sorry. Okay. Good point. Yeah. I think, I think we'll have enough to do in South Amherst without adding that in. Yeah. No, because I thought you were on station. That's why I said that. Yeah. So Alan, do you have to. Site those sites or can I. Can someone else on the committee go do that? Yeah, those locations are going to be the same location. I think we're planting them where trees had died. Previously. The trees that we planted. Six years, seven years ago. So we, we don't need to do dig safe. We shouldn't need to know. Okay. Well, if you can, if we can figure out of time, I'll check in with the woman who was here last month and. species for that. Or was that up to me again? I don't remember. That was up to you. Okay. Yeah. I can look very quickly, see if it's in the minutes. Okay. Great. Consider resilience of tree species when selecting trees. That's the only thing we have about that. Species. Shade trees, definitely. Yeah. Okay. All right. So we'll revisit that or. You can contact me sooner if you have that info. Next on the agenda is. Arbor day plans, speaker and demonstration. Okay. So we're going to move on from the April 20th. Sustainability for sustainability festival. Although we don't have to do a separate event. We could combine them. I was in communication with. One of the members of the immerse. Sustainability committee. Where it was called. They came up with the climate action plan for the town. And I wanted to talk about. The kind of green infrastructure component of the town's climate action plan. And I did hear back finally. And. They are interested in talking. But we're. He's a professor. The committee member that I did hear back from is a professor at Hampshire college. And. We're having a. Okay. So at some point, yeah, if we're going to send stuff to the. To the town council, we'll need to. Get that information. Unless somebody else has an idea. Somebody who wants to talk. Oh, I have bad news on that front. I watched a rerun meeting of one of the town council committees. And they did not approve our request for. A liaison. They approved it for a bunch of. Committees, but ours was not among them. I think they tried to basically put them in order on which ones they liked better, et cetera. I'm not sure the exact details. Okay. All right. So anything else on Arbor day. Anybody want to write something to the. Hampshire Gazette. About trees. And Arbor day. Doesn't have to be a committee member. Brooks or David. Would you write about. Sorry, go ahead. Sorry, that was me. Sorry. I apologize. I was just asking, what would you want. The article to be about. Arbor day, you know, sometime in April would be great if we could. But it's the editor or op-ed column or something. The importance of trees, essentially, it's, you know, it's tree centric. However, you know, the importance of trees in the community, interesting facts about trees. I could try. That'd be great. Okay, that's good. Just volunteering. I realized that Stephen, you're here. I think for the South Amherst tree library tree, but we haven't heard from you. And we were talking about that. Can you hear me? Yes. Yeah. So I'm a member of South Congressional church and. Part of the buildings and grounds team. And we're having our big 200th anniversary celebration with a culminating in a week long celebration, June 30th, July 7th. And we, we came up with the idea of we want to plan a tree to commemorate our 200th anniversary. But since I emailed you a while ago. So we're going to do that. Our little green committee, which is a subcommittee of our celebration. Said we've got some volunteers that want to donate some trees and we want to put them out in our back meadow. Which faces the Pelham Hills. We have a lot of apple trees out there that are sort of dying. So we're going to replace three of those trees. And we'll probably plant them this spring. And then we'll dedicate them in a ceremony on July 7th. So I think that's what we decided to do. Great. If you need any help with the planting or advice, then. Let us know. All right, I appreciate that very much. We'll be in touch. Good. Thank you. All right. Back to the agenda. That's not the agenda. Sorry. I'm sorry. Mary maple table. We already talked about the town tree inventory. To me. So the, the RFQs came back for. Requesting someone to, to. Submit a bid for doing the inventory. The lowest. Bitter. Two. Is a Arbor pro. They're actually there. They've done a very nice presentation. They've done some inventory work for city of spring field. I did call the city forester there and he gave them. You know, good review. Davy resource group who did the past inventories. The town. Was. Not the lowest bidder. And I don't see any reason not to go with Arbor pro. So. I think we're going to have a sign of contract with them. Before the end of the month and get them on board. And get the inventory done before June. So. Great. Good. And they're going to produce a final report that's going to, you know, do an analysis of all the trees that are inventoryed and all the, the benefits they provide to the community. Include new planting locations. Stumps. You know, tree conditions, species. Pull in yards. So it should be pretty good. Awesome. Yeah. Great. Thank you. Uh, printer urban forestry management plan. Still working on it. Okay. Yeah. The tree inventory. It's going to be a large part of that plan. So. There's a lot of. Work I can do before them, but once the report is done, a lot of that information is going to get plugged in. To the manager plan as far as, you know, where we need to spend our time. To improve things. Great. Next on the agenda is updating the town website. So we're going to go ahead and do that. And then we're going to go ahead and do that. And then we're going to go ahead and do that. And then we're going to go ahead and request a tree page. It still doesn't have our policy listed there, but I will talk to him about that. And try to get that done by the next month. Next meeting. Hopefully he'll be there then. All right. Environmental justice neighborhood planting. Anything new on that. Are you mass interns at the bridge? She's not here. There's nothing new on state level initiatives. At least I haven't done anything yet. No, nothing yet. Okay. And the solar bylaw group. Anything to do on that? No real updates. The council committee hasn't, it hasn't gotten. In front of their agenda, but it was listed on the carryover memo from the last council. So it will be for discussion eventually. It's just a matter of when they get to it. Okay. And then the only other thing, Shonda, I don't have your hours listed. So far. And I'll check with bread and Bennett about that also. So that's all I have. Anybody else have anything, any other comments? Stephen or David or. Brooks. I had one question. When we originally talked. About the trees that are available for planting. But does, does the town have trees that can be planted? And do you have an inventory of trees that are available for planting and what species are they? Um, We don't have our own trees. We buy them for the plantings we do. We are starting a talent nursery. But again, those will be trees that we plant. We don't have trees that we give out. We don't have trees that the sustainability festival. And those will be a little tiny seedlings. Yeah. We can't really afford to just give trees to anyone. Right. We do. If it's in a place along the road, we will sometimes use our funding and bring a tree. To plant. But we try to coordinate that within the plantings we do on the second Saturday of the month. Okay. Thanks. Anybody have anything to add on that? Nope. All right. Well, thanks everybody. And, uh, short meeting. Hopefully, uh, next month we'll have a lot more to talk about. We'll all be there. Good luck, Sarah, with your house and. Thank you. And Ellen, please get the minutes to me soon. The power that preserves. Yep. Great. Thank you, everybody. Thanks, everybody. Thank you. Thank you. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
