November, 2015 – Two major items of interest and accomplishment over the past month. First, the tree work is done! It’s absolutely mind-boggling what our (10) heritage oaks look like without decades of deadwood and ball moss choking them. Kudos to Jason Derks & his crew at Heritage Tree Care for a superb job. And our thanks to the SRCC for grant funding most of this work. We’ve been wanting to do this for many years, so it’s a big deal – and was worth the wait! Gorgeous, healthy trees for ALL to enjoy for decades to come.
We’ve also just learned that our application for a subject Historical Marker for Norwood has been approved at the county level. It will move on to consideration by the state Historical Commission in January. This marker, if approved, will honor the legacy of the Norwood Estate as a cultural site, and help protect it into the future.
These last initiatives of Phase 1 of the Norwood project are winding down. It’s a fulfilling time for us, but we know the herculean task of raising several million dollars for Phase 2..is around the corner in 2016. Together, we will do it!
Be sure and visit us on Facebook to see lots of photos and keep up with the latest. A safe & happy Thanksgiving to all.
