I would love to! I read this at work this morning but unfortunately couldn't post since I couldn't stay signed in for some reason.

It's a great idea, and a great way for us GTA'ers especially to meet each other. I would love to meet some of the people.

Oh now it lets me reply. Ugh. The things I do.

It would be nice however, to be able to meet others before the spring if we could figure something out. Afterall, spring is a long way from now.

I suggest reading The Lorax by Dr. Seuss to go along with the Tree Planting:
Amazon.com: The Lorax (Classic Seuss): Books: Dr. Seuss,Theodor Seuss Geisel

Also, for info on having a special 'celebrate the trees' festive meal
(Fot Tu B'Shevat - Jewish New Year for Trees) but adapt to your own situation
and beliefs...
