I heard a great story at the Keep Indianapolis Beautiful fundraising luncheon today. Board chair John Kyle read from a letter KIB had received from the leader of a neighborhood association that participates in KIB’s Neighborwoods tree-planting program.
Two years ago when our group visited one particular home to ask if the resident would like a tree planted in his front yard, he told us, “No. (Hell) No! I don’t want a tree.” The neighborhood association had always thought of him as an anti-social curmudgeon, so we wrote him down as a ‘no’ and went along our way.
