Arboretum care


On April 13th over 50 volunteers will participate in an event in the Columbia Children’s Arboretum from 9am – 12n. 
 
While no more volunteers are needed, residents of ECNA should be grateful for all the efforts of these volunteers.

They will mulch hundreds of native trees and shrubs that were planted this past winter!  They may also take out some weedy introduced plants, if time allows.  These Tree Care events help to ensure the highest level of plant survival through our dry summer months.
The event is sponsored by Friends of Trees,Portland Parks and Recreation, and Rosemary Anderson High school students.

If you get a chance stop in and thank them for all their work.
