A hearty congratulations to the 2014 Rose Festival Queen, our very own super-volunteer Emma Audrey Waibel!

Emma, 17, is a junior at West Linn High School and was also Friends of Trees’ 2014 Green Space Initiative Crew Leader of the Year.

We interviewed Emma when she was named to the Rose Festival court, including asking about her experience as a fifth generation lumberjack. You can also read the Oregonian write-up on Emma here.
