Earth Day Weekend 2011 with Friends of Trees

Members of our scout pack woke up early for a Saturday to help Friends of Trees restore the habitat around the pond of a local park.  The Friends of Trees mission ...
... is to bring people in the Portland-Vancouver metro area together to plant and care for city trees and green spaces.
We had nearly 20 Cub Scouts ranging from Tigers to Webelos help with all aspects of the tree planting.  Even Aaron got to help out.

Sunny and 68 - 70 degrees made this the warmest day so far this year and a great day to plant trees.  The areas we were planting had been underwater from winter/spring flooding not that long ago.  By the end of the planting session mud was becoming a fashion accessory.
