Tree Bandits

We arrived at our service site for Keep Durham Beautiful. The community there was very happy to have us bind their trees to keep canker worms from killing the old oak trees. Almost the entire neighborhood was outside either on their porch or in the street talking to neighbors new and old. We all traveled down the blocks wrapping the trees in a line of burlap and plastic. Many people came up to us and asked about what we were doing, some knew about the canker worm issue, and others were actively binding their own trees at home. Within 2 hours we used up all the burlap, plastic, and staples. The community was very grateful for us to help make their city almost as beautiful as Knoxville.
