Arbor Day 2009 and Memory Tree Planting in Fremont

Fremont High School Environmental Club members conducted a fundraiser this spring raising funds for the planting of trees in Fremont. The proceeds of the fundraiser are used to fund the Town of Fremont’s contribution to the cost of trees planted each year as part of the Arbor Day celebration. Twenty-five blue spruce trees were planted along West Street near the High School baseball diamond and six additional trees were planted in the inaugural year of the Memory Tree program at various locations around Town. Tulip, Redbud, and Flowering Pear trees were planted with the aid of the following sponsors Mr. Wendell Cooper, Mr. and Mrs. John Ludy, Mr. and Mrs. Don McConnell, Pat “Mundy” Helton in memory of Ike and Madelene Mundy, Donald Helton in memory of Mr. & Mrs. William S. Helton, and Steve and Shane Parsons in memory of Momma Jo Parsons.
