Greenline
Basics |
Storm Damage Ouch! The V&E Greenline sustained significant damage from the storm of July 2003 known as Hurricane Elvis. Volunteers addressed much of the damage. They used chain saws to cut up the downed trees and used the tractor where possible to push limbs to the street where the City of Memphis sanitation crews could pick them up. Volunteers from both Rhodes and the Vollintine-Evergreen community loaded trailers with debris and moved it to the street. Some trees were so large that they exceeded the volunteer chain saw capacity and/or were in such a dangerous condition/location that a professional tree company was hired to cut up the logs. These unexpected costs were paid from the donations make by contributors to the V&E Greenline.
This church group helped move logs from the West End of the V&E Greenline and make it available to patrons once again. Picking up this debris will continue on the West End of the V&E Greenline, as volunteer time becomes available as a part of "Spruce Up the Greenline" events.
