GPOA “Good Woods” Committee Meets
Without trees, would Goodwood still be the same neighborhood where we live? The GPOA believes it would not and recently, due to the removal of the Live Oak at the corner of Jefferson Highway and Keed Avenue, it has sparked an idea to address the loss of our urban tree canopy.
“Good Woods” is envisioned to be an effort by the GPOA that is designed for interested individuals to meet, exchange ideas and create an inventory of trees in the Old Goodwood. Many of our residents have expressed interest and concern for our tree canopy due to the loss of the Live Oak mentioned. We invite you to join this effort!
Bryan Vincent, GPOA Treasurer, has volunteered to lead this effort as he has joined other community interest groups in addressing the types of trees native to Louisiana.
Our initial meeting was held on August 12, 2026 with 12 members of the Association. Ideas shared included an index of resource agencies that will be developed, education and promotion of tree plantings to replace or augment present landscape plans, and future speakers to highlight the importance of our tree canopy.
This project is just one of many initiatives sponsore by the Goodwood Property Owners Association!
