The San Benito County Historical Park sported many new trees during the Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival last weekend. The addition of the approximately 30 trees had been an important upgrade for the park sought by the Northern California Bluegrass Society.
The trees were originally grown by a Gilroy nursery for use in a large Alphabet (Google) office development in San Jose that was postponed or cancelled. REACH, a local environmental tree-planting organization is working with the San Benito County Historical Society to plant the donated trees at the park.
The San Benito County Historical Society’s Anita Kane organized the acquisition, siting and planting of the new trees. NCBS President Michael Hall helped with locating the trees around the audience area. NCBS & SBCHS Volunteer Gary Zatkin is watering the trees on a weekly basis to ensure their survival during their first year.
Thanks for your support!
