Working with City of Muskegon "Tree Man" Arborist David Bailey and Conservationist Kathy Evans of the West Michigan Regional Shoreline Development Commission, 15 Rotarians, friends of Rotary, Rotaractors and Interactors came together Friday morning to help plant a nice variety of trees on what is known as the Carpenter Property, a large open parcel located between the new Petsafe Dog Park and Beidler Street on the West side of Seaway Drive. This is a former industrial site that is coming back to something better!
We planted 58 trees, 13 White Pines donated by our "Rotary Forest" project nursery and 45 other trees (Catalpa, River Birch clumps, Red Oaks, Poplars, Hackberrys, etc) purchased by the City of Muskegon and paid for by a West Michigan Regional Shoreline Development Commission (WMRSDC) grant.
