Creswell Scouts among more than 90 tree-planting volunteers


On Saturday, Sept. 27, more than 90 volunteers dedicated their afternoon to planting trees and shrubs in the Pine Meadows Campground at Cottage Grove Lake.

Most of the volunteers were from Creswell and Cottage Grove, with a few from Eugene and one from the Portland area. The majority of the volunteers were associated with local Girl Scout and Boy Scout groups.
