 Arbor Day/ Eco-Action event at West Tualatin View School
Girl Scout Troup 1606 and the Cedar Mill Garden Club held a tree planting on April 20th. This was one of ten projects the girls complete to earn an Eco-Action Badge. Not only did the girls do a terrific job digging, backfilling, watering and mulching the new dogwood tree, they shared their knowledge about the many benefits trees provide for our life on planet Earth. The troop will share watering duty over the summer months. Congratulations, Troop 1606!
Memorial tree planting at Terra Linda Park
