Results from Bike Park Landscaping Day

Saturday morning started off cold and snowy. But that didn't stop a group of dedicated volunteers from showing up at 8am with one goal in mind - get as many trees and shrubs in the ground as possible in one day!

The day was made possible because of the tremendous community support for this project. Our warmest thanks go out to the following who made it happen with their generous donations:

Josh Thulin / The Arbors Nursery - All 60 of the Trees & Shrubs, compost, and backhoe
Harmony Design - Landscape Plan and on-sight execution by Randy Blough
Valley Lumber - Mini-ex to dig the holes
Grand Teton Brewing Company - Forklift and head Brewer, Marks, to unload the trees
Trail Creek Nursery - Skidsteer and operator to load trees
Teton Timberframe - Skidsteer, flat bed trailer to haul trees, and Adam's strong back

At the end of the day we planted almost 50 plant units! We'll be back at it Tuesday to finish off the job. If you have time to help please come on by. If you have any watering resources please let us know as the irrigation is off but we would like to soak the trees before winter.
