There’s a lot of things we could do out there in addition to planting trees. With this plan, I suspect we’ll see some new things happen over the next few years out there.” Thompson said the 20- acre site still requires a lot of work to maintain, and volunteers are still needed to help with tasks, such as watering and weeding and surveying for insects.

She said it will have a lasting impact that people can be proud of. “As the years go by, the kids that helped plant can take their kids out there SEAN HART PHOTO These trees, wrapped in a protective mesh covering, were planted a year ago on 20 acres of property on the Oxbow site in Hermiston along the Umatilla River. A large volunteer effort, led by the 2014 Leadership Class, helped plant the trees, but volun- teers are still needed to maintain the site.
