Many new medium size trees will be planted all around the San Benito County Historical Park this spring. The park is the home of the Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival. The addition of the trees has 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.

Thanks to volunteer Anita Kane for organizing the tree project!
