Maria Guenther, a resident of Avondale, is enjoying two new trees planted this week in the right-of-way in front of her home by the City of Jacksonville through its tree mitigation program. Maria’s new trees are part of over 380 trees in the initial planting through the RAP ReLEAF program. That program is designed to enhance our tree canopy by placing trees inside right-of-ways and in our parks. As they mature they will replace trees planted during the establishment of our neighborhood and are nearing the end of their life cycle.
