Kirkland commission to check sapling distribution from Hiawatha High greenhouse
Summary
Commission members say the "Trees For Our Future" sapling distribution at Hiawatha High's greenhouse has been popular; a member will attend the greenhouse sale to confirm how many trees have been distributed and how many remain, and members proposed a Fourth of July distribution tent.
According to the minutes submitted by Village of Kirkland Tree Advisory Commission member Jeff Miller, anecdotal evidence indicates that the "Trees For Our Future" sapling distribution through the Hiawatha High School greenhouse "has been popular." The minutes say Commission member Brian Benes will attend the greenhouse sale this coming Saturday and "will speak with Mr. Dodge to see how many trees have been distributed and how many trees are remaining."
Commission members discussed using a community event to expand distribution. Brian suggested asking the Lions Club for permission "to set up a tent on the Fourth of July to distribute trees," noting that Tree Commission members and FFA members from Hiawatha High School could staff the tent. The record does not include a formal vote or funding authorization; the minutes indicate this will be addressed through follow-up conversations and outreach.
