Replacing Trees After Sandy

Friday, 15 February 2013 00:00

During Hurricane Sandy, thousands of trees in Nassau County were lost due to high winds. Now, the county is offering a replanting program to help residents restore the greenery in their neighborhoods. Native plants, including oaks, maples and conifers, will be available this spring through the Nassau County Soil and Water Conservation District for planting in the backyard, as well as public parks and preserves.

Those interested in purchasing trees and plants through this program should download the order form from www.nassauswcd.org. Make checks or money orders payable to “Nassau County SWCD” and mail to the Nassau County Soil & Water District at 5 Old Jericho Turnpike, Jericho, NY 11753, along with an order form. Trees and shrubs are sold in bundles of 10 each and listed prices are for one bundle. The plants are seedlings or transplants up to 24 inches in height.

Orders must be received by March 10 and must be picked up on Friday, April 19 or Saturday, April 20 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. in person at the Nassau County Soil and Water District offices. Those unable to pick up their order on the specified days must make arrangements to have them picked up. Quantities are limited and may be subject to substitution.

Health benefits in more ways than one

West East All Natural Bistro and Wine Bar is a fresh and virginal startup that provides hope for change in a landscape that has become stagnant and saturated with the same, tired, fast food, assembly-line approach, and artificially hospitable corporate eateries.

A few years ago Raquel Jadeja and her husband, Jay were just regular customers of Danny Wu’s establishment. Wu is the original owner of The West East All Natural Bistro. The Jadejas many years of restaurant experience led them to become Wu’s unofficial consultants. Their friendship, which was a symbiotic progression, culminated when Jay became a co-owner and head chef in October of 2012.
