Charlestown’s BMP tree sale draws early orders; pickup planned for late Sept.–Oct.
Summary
The City Tree Board said five residents had placed orders for a total of 20 trees in a homeowner discounted sale; orders were due Sept. 6 and pickup would be coordinated at a central location, likely Evitts Run or Inwood.
Board members said two social-media rounds have generated interest in a BMP (best management practice) homeowner tree sale. Of the roughly 19–20 potential participant slots the board advertised, five people had placed orders totaling 20 trees as of the Sept. 5 meeting; the Chair said orders are due Sept. 6 and pickups will be arranged in late September or early October with volunteer-led planting instruction.
Logistics discussed included vendor delivery to Inwood, volunteer-led one‑hour planting sessions, and central pickup at a site with parking. The Chair said the program may fill additional slots as stragglers complete orders and that outreach will continue to maximize participation.
