educational and rewarding day for all residents.
The annual tree sale, available for Lone Tree residents, must

the celebration on April 25.
Stream clean-up at Willow Creek is sponsored by the Lone Tree
Public Works department. Volunteers are requested to meet at 8:30
a.m at the Lone Tree Civic Center, and reminded to bring work
gloves. The clean-up walk will follow Willow Creek until
approximately noon.
Free seminars will be held at the Lone Tree Civic Center
starting at 9 a.m.
The first is called “Pet Friendly Landscapes. Elizabeth Bublitz,
who owns a landscaping company specializing in this type of
landscape will be presenting.
Some of the topics:
How you can prevent your dog from digging gardens and holes,
escaping from the yard, killing your grass and eating your
sprinklers.
Discover how to work with your dog’s good and bad habits and
create a beautiful and practical yard, rather than giving up the
dog.
Another seminar, Going Green: Green Energy for the Home and
Business will be presented by Wyatt Rogers, from Arapahoe Community
College. Renewable energy systems offer opportunities to offset
rising energy costs and obtain greater independence in energy
sources. Discussions will entail practical applications and methods
to develop cost effective solar, wind, geothermal and other
renewable systems.
A possible third seminar will educate residents on planting
perennial flowers, preparation of the soil, how to combine color,
height and texture in flowers and where to purchase nursery stock
and tools.
