For the next couple of meetings Thornton Creek Alliance will focus on trees in our neighborhoods. How do you know when is a tree hazardous? What do you do? How can we protect and preserve as many of our wonderful trees as possible? You will get answers and useful information at the spring meetings. Additionally, spring is when TCA plans and holds elections and develops the annual work plan. It need your ideas and input. Come and have a say!
Both tree meetings will be at this time and place:
7:15pm-9:00pm
Meadowbrook Community Center
10517 35th Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98125
