Trees for Tomorrow Campaign to Reforest Huntington

Here is the latest from Jessica Pressman, who is heading up the Trees for Tomorrow campaign, a unit of the Create Huntington citizen volunteer organization. This campaign has short term and long term strategies for replacing and increasing the number of trees within the city of Huntington! Our city's citizens of the future deserve beautiful trees, and we have the responsibility to plant trees today so future generations can enjoy the fruits of our efforts.

Jessica wrote: "Great news! Our fund is ready to accept donations! Please have your donors make their checks out to Foundation for the Tri-State. In the memo line of the check, please write "tree seedlings". I'm hoping we can order our (2000) seedlings in ten days or so! Bravo to everyone for their hard work! I know for sure that we've raised over a thousand dollars, and I know some of you still haven't had the opportunity to collect yet! If you are able, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know roughly how much you're donating so that I can keep track myself without having to call the Foundation "

Checks can be mailed to:
