Trees Now Isabella Plants 18 Trees for Beautification Project

April 05, 2022  /  Guest User

Thanks to funding from the Healthy Youth Healthy Seniors Fund, Trees Now Isabella planted 18 new trees to Isabella County Commission on Aging’s landscape. Increasing biodiversity at the site, 14 different tree species were planted during the summer and fall of 2021. The shade provided by these new additions will be enjoyed for generations to come.

Volunteers from the surrounding community came out in droves to assist in the beautification project at the Commission on Aging. Trees Now Isabella gave a quick demonstration to these arboreal assistants, teaching best planting practices. Topics covered included proper watering and mulching, planting safety, and even how best to accommodate the new plantings through proper dug hole depth and size. Educating local volunteers resulted in new landscaping for the Commission on Aging, while also providing time outside to enjoy all Isabella County has to offer.
