The trees that were planted throughout The Queen City this past weekend were all made possible through the efforts of Re-Tree WNY.  Buffalo ReUse and 130 volunteers (we got a little of everybody–students and XCountry athletes from UB, Daemen, Canisius–the Queen City Roller Girls and even our youngest new friend, Bryant, brought his mom and sister to plant 410 trees.  The cost of our trees alone was 25K.  We would love to join Re-Tree again for their Spring 2010 planting; however, they need more funding to purchase more trees for everyone to plant.  Their goal is 30,000 trees and so far volunteers have planted a total of 11,000.  The Buffalo News is campaigning with Re-Tree to help raise funds.  If you or someone you know would like to contribute to Re-Tree’s fund raiser and reserve a tree in someone’s name, please click on the link.  The link will take you to a secure paypal page.  $30 gets you a tree for your Gramma Majorie or your Uncle Larry or your bff, Cookie.

We hope to see you again to plant with you next Spring!
