QCF, CAO and Urban Tree Nurseries

I am proud to announce that Queen City Farm is teaming up with the Community Action Organization's Environmental Justice Office to establish an urban tree nursery at the CAO Headquarters at 70 Harvard Place and we need your help! Tomorrow, October 12th at 1:00 we need you to assemble at 70 Harvard and lend a hand to plant saplings that we will nurture to maturity so that they can be transplanted throughout the city in parks and on streets. This is the first site in an innovative program that utilizes Buffalo resources and talent to produce the trees we need to fully recover from the October Storm.

Also, QCF friend and board member George Winfield will make an attempt to set the world record for gravedigging. George will work throughout the day on October 31st to make a powerful statement for peace and justice in our communities, our nation, and our world. You are invited to spread the word and show your support by showing up while he digs a standard size grave by hand. Please contact we with and questions or contributions to this event and I will put you in touch with George.

Thank you all for your support and we will see you tomorrow to plant some baby trees.
