Tree planters to attempt to set world record
The Sugar Pine Foundation is partnering with Tahoe Donner Forestry to conduct a tree planting as a part of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative attempt to set a world record.
Together with 40 groups across North America an estimated 200,000 trees will be planted in one hour. The local goal is to plant more than 200 Western white pines at Tahoe Donner in the old Donner Ridge Fire scar.
Meet at 15024 Glacier Way off Skislope in Truckee at 9:30am May 20. There is a parking lot on the left that ends with a gate. People will carpool with those who bring four-wheel drive vehicles up a dirt road for about 10 minutes. People will be at different locations in groups of 25 to 100.
The planting will be from 10-11am.
