Twenty volunteers from Hope Evangelical Church and assorted community members cleared trash, planted trees, and spread mulch in Albuquerque’s International District on April 20. East Central Ministries has bought five lots at Chama and Domingo NE with plans to build low cost housing through a community land trust. The baby chokecherry and hackberry trees were Interplanted into existing stands of hardy elms to give them some shade and windbreak.
