Commission names tree stewards; Emily and Glenn to be invited formally
Summary
The Green Space Advisory Commission recommended two tree stewards and agreed to invite them to participate; commissioners approved the recommendation by show of hands.
The Webster Groves Green Space Advisory Commission formally recommended two individuals as tree stewards and agreed to invite them to participate in the program.
During the meeting the commission recommended Emily and her husband, Glenn, for tree steward recognition and asked that they be invited and informed of the decision. A show-of-hands vote was taken and commissioners confirmed the recommendation; members discussed giving a book and a small plaque or other recognition similar to last year’s awards.
Why it matters: Tree stewards are volunteers who assist with outreach, site stewardship and homeowner follow-up during planting and establishment phases; naming stewards supports recruiting and volunteer recognition for the city’s planting programs.
Follow-up Commissioners agreed to prepare a short letter or notice that the chair or designee can send to the recommended stewards, and to plan recognition items (books, a small plaque) to present at an upcoming event or meeting.
