Trustee Uku Village Green Report for October 2025
Nov 17, 2025
Fall Planting Day took place as scheduled on Saturday, November 8th at 9am. Volunteers gathered in front of Village Hall for quick introductions, team assignments, and a group photo. As one new tree was to be installed nearby, a live planting demonstration was held at that site. The teams then dispersed for planting, returning afterwards for a luncheon in the courtroom at Village Hall.
The committee has elected Tara Barrett as Chair, effective immediately. They have also completed an audit of all committee assets (the VGC storage shed, physical inventory like tools, vests, tree labels, as well as online documents.) As requested, I have set up a Village Street Tree Request Form. This is more efficient for committee members than door knocking, and offers another option for residents to engage with the Village. A record of Fall 2025 committee activity is largely captured in the document Actions of the VGC.
All current terms end 12/31/25, and all committee members are interested in reappointment. It has been a pleasure working with this hardworking team. I look forward to continuing to serve both them and the Village.
