Delaware Forest Service leads tree planting in Milton
Delaware News Desk
The Delaware Forest Service and its new Tree Stewards program led more than 50 volunteers and town officials to plant 160 trees in Milton on April 24.
The trees will enhance the town’s hiking and biking trail near West Shore Drive, part of the Delaware Department of Transportation’s ongoing “Rails to Trails” project in Sussex County. Delaware’s urban and community forestry program funded the cost of the trees and provided technical assistance.
“This is magnificent,” said Milton Mayor Ted Kanakos. “We probably have 50 volunteers, just taking a Saturday morning to beautify this area. It’s really a great feeling. Any project like this, no matter where it is, enhances the town.”
Chula Vista online store now open
Chula Vista residents are proud of their city, and now they can show their pride with a variety of merchandise bearing the city’s logo. First came face masks branded with the city logo, followed by variations of the logo spotted on hats, T-shirts and tattoos. So the city opened an online store at www.chulavistaca.gov/store. The store is accessible 24/7 from anywhere in the world to buy items such as T-shirts, face masks, baby onesies, stickers, skateboards and more with a blue or white version of the logo. Proceeds from all sales benefit Chula Vista public entities that support the community, including programs offered by the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility, the Chula Vista Public Library Foundation, and Friends of Chula Vista Parks and Recreation. Funding to these nonprofits provides free and reduced programming, materials and supplies, benefiting people and animals.
