A note from the board · October 2026
Hello, neighbor.
We're 291-ish trees, fifteen blocks, and fifty-seven years of neighbors who plant things, sweep things, and look out for each other. The next thing on the calendar is the dpwna neighborhood clean up — Sun, Nov 1. Bags and gloves provided. We'll post the meeting spot soon.
291
Every one of them planted by a neighbor.
That’s a bit over a third of every tree on these fifteen blocks — the rest were already here when we started counting, and we keep an eye on those too. Argyle has the longest run of mature canopy; Straford has a few pits sitting empty. If there’s one in front of your house, write us. We’ll bring the sapling, the soil, and someone who’s done it before.
On the calendar.
Most events are open to anyone in the neighborhood. Bring a chair, bring kids.

DPWNA Quarterly Meeting

Who do I call about…
The civic cheat sheet.
We get a lot of calls. Most of them aren’t really ours to answer. They’re a 311, a precinct, or a CB14 thing. So we wrote down who actually handles what.

Neighbor Spotlight
Spotlights are coming soon.
Every so often we’ll feature a neighbor, a local business, or a bit of tree lore. The first one is on its way.
Annual Membership
$15–75.
Suggested, per household, per year.
Your dues go to saplings, block-party permits, the printer, and a little tucked aside for when something needs paying for fast. Owners, renters, sublets — everyone who lives here is welcome. We’re not an HOA. We can’t fine you, and we wouldn’t if we could.
