Fall has been delightful this year. Halloween used to be a one-night affair, but no longer on East 78th Street! With the various houses and buildings competing for festive display, Halloween has become a multi-week affair with ghosts, goblins, and skeletons galore. On reflection, it is pleasing that so many children (and adults) get to enjoy the display long before the mayhem of Halloween evening itself.

Putting out this Spring newsletter is the greatest pleasure. Our daffodils and tulips are blooming, the City is full of Spring green, and we can again report there are no tree crises on the block and no missing trees. The Trees 78 Foundation continues its work in relative calm.
