A little wind didn’t stop tree fans young and old from coming out last Saturday to our “Big Tree Tour” at Island Park. Big thank you to the Chippewa Valley Audubon Club, Mt. Pleasant Discoery Museum, and Citizens Climate Lobby for making this collaboration a great success.

Celebrating Arbor Day weekend with Mr. Epple's and Mr. Greaves' 8th grade science classes who helped us plant 20 trees on the Mt. Pleasant Middle School grounds.

Thank you to Michigan DNR's Community & Urban Forestry Grant Program for funding this project. And congratulations to Zen, MPMS student, who won a $100 gift certificate toward a tree of his choice from Alwood Nursery!

"If it were possible for every person to own a tree and to care for it, the good results would be beyond estimation." - Liberty Hyde Bailey, from The Holy Earth (1915)
