City Of HR Gets Tree Grant

The City of Hood River has received a grant from the non-profit Oregon Community Trees to help it celebrate Arbor Week in April.  The City, in partnership with EnviroGorge and Hood River Valley High School students, is planning a variety of events over several days to mark Arbor Week.  The first event will be a tree planting on April 27 along Rand Road between Sherman and Cascade Streets beginning at 1 p.m.  At Waterfront Park, volunteers will hand out information to the public about the benefits of trees, tree care, and tree protection during construction.  At an upcoming City Council meeting, local developers will be recognized with awards for outstanding tree protection.  And the City Tree Committee is also purchasing tree watering bags to loan out to developers, businesses, and homeowners associations to establish newly planted trees.  The City is using the Oregon Community Trees grant to purchase the trees and reusable tree-watering bags, the awards for developers, and a banner.
