Today, fifteen members of our group worked with
Friends of Trees and other volunteers to plant over 40 European Hornbeams in a Beaverton neighborhood. After a short lesson in tree planting, we split into small groups and went to plant trees. The holes were already dug, but we found the top root, measured and
adjusted the hole depth, loosened the tree roots, and plunked the trees in. The potted trees
were heavy! After refilling the hole, cleaning up, staking, and tagging, it was on to the next tree. Although our planting time was rain-free, it had rained earlier. One hole was even full to the top with water! The trees we planted will help to stop muddy water from polluting Fanno Creek and will help keep the air clean. --submitted by R&S Youth Leader, Maya
