AIRPORT BLVD PROJECT MOVING AHEAD

The Mobile Tree Commission, City of Mobile Urban Forestry and FOMT are working together to replace scrub trees on the public Airport Boulevard medians west of I-65. 

At its regular meeting on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, the Mobile Tree Commission approved a plan to begin planting trees at the end of the year with a projected completion date in January, 2025. Trees will be funded in a cooperative agreement between the Friends of Mobile Trees and the Mobile Tree Commission. Species selection is underway. Please check Facebook and Instagram for updates.

In May, 2023, FOMT donated four live oaks to the future Mobile County Environmental Center on Saltaire Road. It will be exciting to see these mature over the years in the natural setting.

Oaks Planted in Tricentennial Park

Thanks to an in kind donation from FOMT member Phillip Dodd Landscaping, FOMT facilitated the planting by City of Mobile Parks of four 40 gallon live oaks at the center of Tricentennial Park between the 3 Mile Creek Greenway and the Childrens Splash Pad.

FOMT recommended this specific site so the trees will benefit both park visitors and residents traveling along the Greenway.

Oak Grove at Battleship Park

Trees planted at Battleship Park form a map of Alabama.

Each tree represents an Alabama county to honor our veterans living and deceased.

FOMT thanks our Vice President Rick Rivers for his work to initiate and implement this project,

like the oak, a symbol of strength for future generations,

a fitting tribute to American veterans and their service to our nation.
