FALLBROOK - The Fallbrook Village Rotary organized a community work day in conjunction with the Save Our Forest branch of the Fallbrook Land Conservancy on September 12.
The volunteers worked to revitalize the tree sites on Alvarado St. on the community parking lot below the Fallbrook Library.
This partnership began 15 years prior when a Save Our Forest grant, received from California ReLeaf, provided trees for this work site as well as on Fig Street. The Village Rotary upgraded the size of the trees and provided curbing for each site on Alvarado St. Village Rotary was a major volunteer force for that planting, which was the beginning of shade for this huge asphalt heat island.
On September 12, the order of business for the day was removing the old, cracked pieces of concrete curbing, evacuating excess dirt, and installing mulch to improve water efficiency.
Key to the improvement was the contribution of parking stops to hopefully prevent people from continuing to run into the irrigation and trees.
"If not for Charles Peters of Peters Paving generously providing his equipment and construction expertise, EDCO and Fallbrook Equipment Rentals donating the use of equipment, and Jackie Heyneman of Save Our Forest coordinating the work, the project could not have been completed," said Jack Bebee. "A big thank you to Espresso Coffee Lounge, also."
