Today we are planting trees with Friends of Trees (you can visit them at http://friendsoftrees.org/), this is one of our service projects for the Knights of Pythias. Friends of Trees is planting trees to bring together people from the metro areas to care for the planted trees and plants in their neighborhoods and cities. They planted about 4,000 street and yard trees in Portland and over 500 street and yard trees in Vancouver, WA, and Beaverton, OR. That is a lot of trees! That was only in their first year of their Plant it Portland! campaign. And now we get to help in their mission as a way to give back to the community.
