Dodds Avenue Volunteer Tree Planting

Organize a volunteer tree planting along Dodds Avenue near East Lake Park, adding 50 shade trees to a corridor that currently has minimal tree canopy. The trees would provide shade, reduce urban heat, improve air quality, and make walking along Dodds Avenue more comfortable. Dodds Avenue is a key connector between neighborhoods and the South Chick Greenway, but it's an exposed, hot walk in summer. Strategic tree planting would transform the experience of walking or biking this corridor over the next 5-10 years as trees mature. Species would be selected for drought tolerance, native habitat value, and canopy spread.
