 The Oaks Historic District Neighborhood Association is making an effort to help restore the green canopy the District enjoyed before Hurricanes Rite and Ike devastated the area.
15 gal. Live Oak trees have been purchased and will be given away on a first come, first served basis.
The only cost involved will be $25 per tree to offset the cost of planting the trees.
Contact 540-2706 (cell) or 835-0795 by Tuesday, January 18th to get your name on the list.
 Trees should arrive towards the end of the month.
More details regarding pick up/planting are to come.

Among the special projects the Oaks Historic District Neighborhood Association has undertaken include Beaumont’s first Dog Park.
Many other cities have these wonderful parks and now, through a partnership with the City of Beaumont, Ida Reed Park at 7th Street and Louisiana is the site of this new “Bark Park”.
The Park has two sections: one for dogs under 30 pounds and a second for dogs over 30 pounds. Fountains for dogs and their owners are available and so are the necessary “doggie waste “ bags with a receptacle for disposal.
Owners are responsible for their dog’s behavior and for following the posted rules.
See you at the Park!
