 Metro Parks and Recreation will be celebrating Arbor Day during
the entire month of April. We know you love trees as much as we do!
Our city's tree canopy includes approximately 270 species of trees found in the
nearly 7,000 acres at Jefferson Memorial Forest and
throughout 6,600 acres in 120 parks and six Olmsted-designed
parkways.
Metro Parks will be sharing interesting facts about trees throughout the month
at this blog, Common Ground, where staff from Metro
Parks' Forestry division has been asked to share their thoughts on trees and
even asked them for their favorites.
That's where you come in! During the month of April, Metro Parks is also asking
the public to share pictures of their favorite trees at our Instagram page (@loumetroparks).
Those who do so can drop by Parks' administrative offices afterwards at Joe
Creason Park and pick up a free Tree Identification Poster, beginning at
9 a.m. on Wednesday, April 5.
The posters will be available until 5 p.m. Friday, April 28 - but you must
participate (and share your picture/handle when you pick up). Also, only one
poster per participant, please.
For more information,
visit Common Ground here, and be sure to share
your pics on Instagram.
 Feeding Stray Cats? Alley Cat Advocates can help get outdoor cats
fixed and vaccinated at NO COST TO YOU! Call (502) 634-8777 today for
your appointment!
Cats will be vaccinated, spayed or neutered, treated with flea and
ear-mite medicine, given a great vet visit, ear-tipped (the universal symbol of
a neutered cat) and returned. There are no more kittens. The number of
cats gradually goes down. And annoying behaviors such as yowling, fighting, and
spraying stop.

(502) 634-8777 to make an appointment today!
