On Saturday, October 4, five members of the Preserve Planet Earth Committee (York), along with six members of the Eastern York County Club and three members of the York East Rotary Club came together to plant 12 trees. The trees were of different native varieties to South Central PA. The trees were planted in two copses of six trees each at the Native Lands Park in eastern York County. The park is 190 acres of meadowland which is largely devoid of trees. The trees will bring shade to hikers, create habitat for more birds and animals and improve the environment. The planting went well and now the hope is to discourage deer from destroying the trees and being able to keep the trees watered. York County Parks and the three clubs collectively underwrote the cost of the trees. W&S Landscaping supplied the trees and donated stakes, netting and mulch.
