About a month ago, Our City Forest hosted a graduation for the class of super volunteers, the Tree Amigos. This mix of students, concerned residents, fans of trees and overall wonderful people took a month long course challenging their brains and arm muscles. They are now armed with the knowledge, the skills, and the passion to go out in our community and make a difference. We're beyond proud to graduate these new keepers of the Urban Forest.
Our first annual Holiday Rent-A-Tree program went quite well during December 2014. Over 100 Living Holiday Trees went out into the community. This means there were 100+ trees that were not thrown to the curb after the season ends. It also means 100+ trees were not supporting the production of plastic in China. I believe the most valuable thing that stemmed from the Rent-A-Tree program is the amount of funding raised to support the continuing cultivation of plants and tree stewards at the OCF Nursery. So a big thanks to all of our participants!
