Last Saturday, while out walking in my neighborhood, I ran into an inspiring sight: Tree Northampton volunteers were planting over a dozen cherry trees up and down Warfield Place. I saw how carefully and skillfully they approached their task and I learned a lot just by watching and asking questions. These folks have planted over a thousand trees all over our city — unsung heroes in my book. Check out their website, treenorthampton.org.
