Ok Buffalonians, former Buffalonians, Tree and Park lovers, let's step up to the plate to support a great cause. The Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy is currently in the running for $50,000 from the Pepsi Refresh project. Their goal is to plant 1000 new trees to replace some of the trees lost in the freak Ice Storm of October 2006. The $50,000 will be used to purchase trees, equipment, shovels and to train volunteers. This is obviously a worthy cause that benefits all of WNY. So, please not only vote, but promote this great cause through your contacts!
