Spring is coming even though it may not feel like it these past few days. This 'tree' was absolutely beautiful on Lakeview earlier this week. Wanted to share with others. Plus if you wish to find out what camellia you would like to plant, prune, etc. Click on the link below which leads you to NCSU Plant Toolbox for additional information.

Good morning! We aren't the only ones enjoying Christmas treats - these Pileated Woodpeckers love the berries on our Dogwood trees.

Had a great day with the WP Tree Board surveying Pine Lake Park. I learned about Pond Pines (none in my yard of all woods). Beautiful day and enjoyed being with all board members.

Even though the Village cancelled the Spring Concert, the WP Tree and Open Space Board is still holding the Arbor Day celebration as planned. Come on out to Hardee Lane Park at 5:00 on Saturday to learn about Arbor Day and the importance of trees. Not only will we be planting a tree but we will also be giving away white dogwood saplings while supplies last. Hope to see you on Saturday!!

Come on out and help the Village celebrate Arbor Day ....
