David and I attended the "dig it" event at Mt. Tabor Middle School on Saturday and we helped plant trees there with Friends of Trees, Urban Forestry and a bunch of volunteers from different places. We also graduated as Neighborhood Tree Stewards and we even received a certificate!
I tried to get my Mom to travel to Portland for this graduation, but she declined. She started laughing "I've been to ENOUGH of your graduations!"
Tree planting tips: wear your grubbies (you will get muddy), bring gloves, a shovel, some pruning shears and a knife or wire cutters (depending on how the trees are wrapped up). I think that Urban Forestry will bring mulch (we should check with Karl Dawson about that), but it might be a good idea to have some buckets of water or hoses ready as well.
November 14 - are you ready???

Dear CafeLiz,
I just wanted to thank you for attending the Dig-It event, and perhaps more importantly, thanks for telling people about our upcoming plantings in your blog.
That's really a good service you provide your readers.
I've recently started a blog for Friends of Trees called Growth Rings, which I would encourage you to check out and comment at.
Let me know if you have any tree content suggestions or need any help from FOT on this end.
Thanks,
Toshio Suzuki
