Arbor Day- Earth Day Celebration

The trees were planted !!!! Our day started with heavy rain. Then the rain stopped and teams of great volunteers planted and staked up many trees in Pioneer Park. WOW!
Thanks to everyone who participated.
We had coffee and donuts and I, for one, had a great time.

Here are a few shots throughout the planting. Unfortunately my new camera either doesn't work as well as the old one or I have a learning curve in my future. In any case, the photos aren't as good as I would like, but that never stops me from posting them.

Here is the process of planting each tree. It was sure nice to have such efficient, capable teams!!
