The service club then stepped up to assist in planting the trees.

The new trees included Kentucky coffee, sweet gum, linden, yellowwood and hackberry. They were purchased through Schich- tel’s Nursery Oregon. The city of Pendleton and the parks department appreciates the generosity and service of the Lions Club, along with Andy Schichtel, who provided the trees at a discount.
