12/1 Big Island Tree Planting

Thanks to the Ice Axemen for their enthusiastic effort to help restore Big Island on a cold Saturday morning! With their help over 400 native trees were planted in some pretty cobbled soil.  Thanks also to Trader Joe's, Sundance, Allann Brothers Coffee,  Organically Grown and Track Town Pizza for their generous support for the event.

2/2 4th Annual Green Island Volunteer Tree Planting

Despite the cold, wind and rain, 300 volunteers showed up early Saturday morning to Green Island eager to plant trees. In just two and a half hours 10,000 trees found cozy new homes on Green Island. That is 1 tree planted per second for two and a half hours straight! Thank you to everyone who showed up and helped with the effort, it is truly appreciated.

Thanks to our partners in the event REI, LEAD Teens and US Fish and Wildlife, and to supporters Organically Grown, Sundance, Market of Choice, Capella's Market, Trader Joe's, Allann Brothers Coffee and Track Town Pizza who generously fueled our volunteers, and to everyone who lent a hand throughout the whole process.
