2007 Spring Sponsors

 

Another successful community effort! Neighbors, businesses, and organizations stepped up this spring to assist us with this boulevard tree planting. We had over 240 community volunteers attend. They planted 100 trees in under 90 minutes! What an outstanding group.

This collaborative effort would not have been successful without the help and support from the below businesses and organizations.

• Rochester Public Utilities purchased the trees.
• Maier Forest & Tree helped with the event organization and fund donation. Many of their staff were on-hand with Maier equipment to make sure the planting went smoothly.
• Rochester Park and Recreation helped with the event coordination including tree delivery and hole digging. Jacob Ryg, Rochester's City Forester is invaluable to our tree planting endeavors!
• Let's Dish donated gourmet brownies and other yummy bars for the tree planters to enjoy.
• Dunn Bros. Coffee supplied the fuel supply to get the volunteers motivated for the task of planting 100 trees.
• Todd A. Gjervik from the Coldwell Banker Burnet Realty on Elton Hills Drive, brought the donuts to feed the crowd.
• Sign Here created the RNeighborWoods banner for the event. That way everyone could find where to check-in.
• VIP Scrapbook Gallery gave all of the supplies for the RNeighborWoods displays that we used at the Arbor Day events and the tree planting.

This list doesn't even mention all of the partnering groups who came out and brought heaps of volunteers.

Our thanks to all for caring about Rochester's urban forest!
