Poulsbo Tree Board plans community fall planting at American Legion Park with grant support
Summary
The board set October 19 for a fall tree-planting event at American Legion Park; members said Poulsbo Garden Club and Poulsbo Rotary grants funded recent purchases and the board plans to use $500 toward this planting.
The Poulsbo Tree Board confirmed plans for a public fall tree planting at American Legion Park on October 19 and discussed resource needs for the event. Committee member (S5) said the board already purchased $750 in plants with a Garden Club grant and had $750 from Rotary; the tree board discussed contributing $500 from its funds to support additional native plant purchases for the event.
Committee members emphasized the event will be a community effort—partnering with native-plant volunteers and other local groups—and include outreach and education. Board members also discussed logistics such as soil and compost purchases, tabling at related events (film festival) and how to staff an outreach booth during the festival to recruit volunteers and publicize the board’s work.
The board assigned follow-up tasks including confirming exact planting times, allocating the $500 budget line, and coordinating volunteer recruitment through marketing planned for October.
