It was a rainy day but there was an air of excitement at Saturday's Sheffield Tree Project and Sheffield Land Trust "Tree & Shrub Giveaway" in celebration of Arbor Day and Earth Day. Thanks to the many volunteers who worked for days bagging trees, preparing, and executing a lovely day of giving to the community. The rain never let up but the people came anyway. So many want to plant trees!
