Utica Rotary Plants 31 Trees on Blandina Street, East Utica, in Sixth Year of Tree Project

Volunteers put 31 new trees in the ground along Blandina Street in east Utica this fall, the sixth year of the Utica Rotary Club's Urban Tree Planting project, WKTV reported on Oct. 24. The exact planting day wasn't published.

That brings the project's total to 184 trees planted across the city since it started.

Who pitched in:

• Utica Rotary Club
• City of Utica
• Proctor High School students
• The Climate Action Team from the Utica Universal Unitarian Church

The report didn't name the tree species or say how the work is paid for. If your block could use a street tree, the Rotary Club of Utica and the city are the groups to ask about next year's plantings.
