This planting is part of the Tree For All campaign which strives to plant one million native trees and shrubs during the 2014-2015 planting season within the Tualatin River Watershed! Clean Water Services, Friends of Trees, thousands of volunteers, other non-profits, city partners, and private landowners will all be working together to make this happen!
