659 Vanderbilt Avenue

Heart of Brooklyn, a partnership of Brooklyn’s finest cultural institutions, has generously provided the Vanderbilt Avenue Merchants Association with a grant to implement a tree care program to help beautify the Prospect Heights Neighborhood. The grant will cover the cost of purchasing top soil, mulch, fertilizer and the tools needed to clean, aerate, fertilize and prune the forty existing trees on Vanderbilt Avenue from Plaza Street to Atlantic Avenue. The grant is being given with the understanding that the Prospect Heights’ community will provide the volunteers needed to implement the tree care program. If you think you may be able to volunteer your services on Saturday, May 3rd please e-mail Bob Biegen at Biegen@AOL.com and tell him that you may be available. Bob will send you an e-mail reminder a few days before the event. Tree care instructions and tools will be furnished on the day of the event.
