During a recent government meeting, officials discussed a proposal from Coffee Creek Church to plant a tree near the trailhead at Liberty Lake in memory of Tony Woundsbury, a veteran and former volunteer on the Liberty Lake Trail. The initiative, brought forward by Clark Farley, aims to honor Woundsbury's contributions to the community, particularly his efforts in maintaining the equestrian trails.

The proposal highlights the importance of community involvement in preserving local natural spaces and recognizes the legacy of individuals who have dedicated their time to volunteer work. The meeting included discussions on the logistics of the tree planting and potential cleanup efforts associated with the equestrian trails.

As the proposal moves forward, it reflects a growing trend of memorializing community members through environmental stewardship, fostering a sense of connection between residents and their natural surroundings. The decision on the approval of the tree planting will be made in subsequent meetings, as officials continue to evaluate the best ways to honor Woundsbury's memory while enhancing the Liberty Lake area.
