200 Trees Planted in One Day – November 2012

An amazing group of women from all corners of the globe joined Nature Consortium in the Duwamish Green Belt yesterday.  After planting over 200 trees and bushes in the forest that runs from West Seattle to Burien, the au pairs and others then protected our newly planted friends by mulching over 1000 square feet of forest.  All this accompanied by some clarinet music, making the scene feel a bit out of a movie…  It surely was not a Saturday spent lounging about, but we felt good to know that all this hard work would yield a more healthy forest for years to come.  Nice to affect our  carbon foot prints…just a little bit.
