Friends of Trees, along with volunteers from the Nadaka Park work party, planted three Scarlet Oaks in Columbia View Park Jan. 9.  They were planted to replace four mature cottonwoods that were recently removed.

The oaks will add a nice touch of red fall color to the park, which is currently dominated by evergreen trees.

Thanks to Lee Dayfield, who put in a lot of work to make this planting happen!  Friends of Trees is excited be involved in more planting projects out in Gresham.
