CanopyBloomington is working with the CBNA 

to plant new trees in our neighborhood!

If you’re interested in planting new trees on your property and/or volunteering, please fill out the “Tree Agreement” form and/or Planting Volunteer Form available at https://www.canopybloomington.org/upcoming-plantings. Canopy provides free trees!

On November 14, 2026, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, a tree-planting event will be help in the CBNA neighborhood. There also will be a chance to socialize, with food and music (further details will be announced soon).

CanopyBloomington is a social impact organization created to maximize Bloomington's tree canopy and sustainably manage Bloomington's urban forest for trees' many environmental, health, economic, and social benefits, with a focus on tree equity and community engagement.

Join in the Crestmont Park 

Weed Wrangle

If you’ve never tried group invasive plant removal, come over to see how much fun & educational it is. Weed Wrangles are part of Bloomington’s Adopt-a-Greenspace program, https://bloomington.in.gov/parks/parks/adopt-a-greenspace.

CBNA President Sharon Roualet is the Green-Space Sponsor of Crestmont Park. Crestmont Park is adjacent to the Crescent Bend Neighborhood and in the new Crestmont-Winslow Wildlife Canopy Corridor.

Weed Wranglers join together to take action to control invasive species in Crestmont Park.  Volunteers will be bending, hiking as needed, and using sharp tools. Gloves, tools, and safety glasses are provided.

Metal Recycling: Between 10 to 11 on Saturday, April 11, one of our volunteers also will use his truck to pick up metal you may no longer want and will haul it for recycling--everything from aluminum siding to tin cans, iron, brass, copper wiring, metal guttering, car batteries, metal shelves, and more.  

If you have metal items to recycle: 1) Send an email with your address to crescentbend@gmail.com or call or text 812-345-1201 before 8:00 am Saturday, April 11; and 2) Leave the items near the curb in front of your house by 10:00 am that morning.
