Barbara Lois Tree Planting

On the 30th of January, 10 volunteers from Mossyrock VFW, Mossyrock Youth Leadership, and Mossyrock Area Action League (MAAL) came together to

"Honor and Elder". Long time resident, artist, and retired middle school

teacher, Barbara Lois had eager help in planting 85 young trees on her

property on Swofford Road, east of Mossyrock. Special thanks to Aldrich Berry and Tree Farm for the generous donation of trees.

Despite the typical mist we are so familiar with here, within an hour and a

half all the trees were planted and the group was happily visiting and

eating Pizza and Cheetos! Barbara painted the wonderful mural that is

displayed in Mossyrock City Hall as a gift to the City in cooperation with

MAAL. Special thanks to Jeannette, Mossyrock City clerk, for the home baked cookies-they disappeared in short order! MAAL is interested in honoring other elders in our community.
