Learn more about how street trees benefit the urban environment. Tim Query, Lexington’s Urban Forester, will explain the value of street trees to our neighborhood and give training on how to inventory street trees. We are looking for volunteers to help with the inventory of street trees in our neighborhood. The tree inventory can be conducted at your convenience.

Date:  Saturday, May 24th, 1-5:00 p.m.

Location:  Lafayette Parkway and South Bendstream cleanup

 

Join your neighbors in a spring clean-up of invasive weeds and plant in Wolf Run Creek along Lafayette Parkway and South Bend.  Wear protective clothing- long sleeves and long pants are recommended.  Bring pruning shears, loppers, saws, etc.  Contact Laurie Fields (859) 327-9848 to join the crew.  Your time counts as matching funds for our stream restoration/water quality grant-which translate into more trees, shrubs and flowers to beautify the creek and our neighborhood!

May 18, 2014 at 2 pm – enter the flood plain off Bob O Link Drive at Jacana.

Join our stream restoration team and Friends of Wolf Run as we will walk along the creek to look at what’s surviving from prior year’s stream buffer restoration and what may need to be replaced.  We will do some invasive weed control (Honeysuckle sprouts, Tree of Heaven regrowth, multi-flora rose control).  Bring your gloves, pruners, saws, etc. to tackle the removal.

Grant discussion will take place after the stream walk.

In the United States, two thirds of all residential fire deaths occur in homes without a working smoke detector. Your first line of defense in a residential fire is early detection. A working detector could help you and your family get out safely.

The Lexington Fire Department is committed to Fire Prevention and the safety of our citizens. Through a federal grant and the work of our Fire Prevention Bureau, we have purchased smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and 9-volt batteries. The Fire Department will be installing new detectors and detector batteries free of charge to Fayette County citizens who are over the age of 50 or disabled.

For more information on our smoke detector program you can contact the Lexington Fire Department Community Services at (859) 231-5668 or go to http://www.lexingtonky.gov/index.aspx?recordid=117&page=1438
