Concept sketch of Volunteer Tree Nursery, currently under construction
facilities
Town staff and volunteers are currently working to create a Volunteer Tree Nursery behind the maintenance facility at Joyner Park (pictured at right). This nursery will provide in- expensive trees for planting, volunteering opportunities for residents, and storage space for tools and materials. The 1,680 gallon cistern used to water the nursery trees could also be used to fill watering trailers during tree planting.

The Parks and Recreation Department and Facilities Department are planning to ex- pand the maintenance facility in upcoming years to pro- vide space for additional vehicles and Facilities Department staff. When this expansion is designed, we recommend that space be provided for Urban Forestry Program vehicles, trailers, and staff.
