Just Look At The Flowers…
Cherry Street neighbor Todd Woodson took a bunch of pretty flower photos. The hope is that these will continue to beautify and nourish life on the Hill.
More Trees Removed At Tredegar
After removing all the mature trees in front of Tredegar, it is heart breaking to see that today they now are removing all of the mature trees behind Tredegar.
Trees Destroyed At Tredegar
Laurel Street Trees Removed
Laurel Street neighbor Marc Leslie supplied some action pics as a large tree was removed from the west side of the 400 back of S.Laurel this morning.
Aftermath:
Trees and more trees!
Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association President Todd Woodson shares his enthusiasm:
The warm weather has got some trees blooming prematurely as well as some flowers. Cold weather is coming though.

Great news that we have many new street trees coming to Oregon Hill- some already planted and more wherever you see a red flag in a tree well. This is on top of the 11 we planted in November through a Community Roots Grant.

Tree Planting Tomorrow
From Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association’s (re-elected) President Todd Woodson:
Friends: We will be planting 11 street trees in Oregon Hill Saturday morning and could use a hand in the planting and watering in. Meeting 9:30AM at 820 Idlewood Ave (front of St Andrews School). Bring a shovel and a jug of water and let’s fight global warming together! FAMILY FRIENDLY! See you there!
Trees and Upcoming OHNA Meeting
Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association president Todd Woodson recently sent out some reminders:
On November 30th, we will be planting 10 street trees in the neighborhood. Please join us to help plant these beauties provided by a grant from the Community Roots program at 9:30am at the entrance to St Andrews School at 820 Idlewood Ave. Bring a shovel and jug for water if you can. I’ve included a photo of our new trees below. Thanks for your help on this! This will be the last day Councilman Agelasto will be in office before Stephanie Lynch takes over so lets plant some TREES (we will have professional supervision)!!!.
The OHNA meeting on November 26th will include officer elections for the upcoming year. We will also vote on a motion to donate a remote weather station (up to 250 dollars) to Open High so they can keep meteorological records for Oregon Hill. This will be a great asset to our friends at Open in their science classes in learning about meteorology. We can also chart warming/cooling trends for the neighborhood. Please mark the meeting on your calendar.
Back When Monroe Park Was Wooded
A view of the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart from Monroe Park sometime after 1905. This is number 0490 of the Cook Collection, on display at the Valentine Museum. Go see it in person, (support the Valentine!) and get a better idea of why so many residents want the Monroe Park Conservancy’s lease rescinded.
