LAKE COUNTY – During the January meeting, Clearlake Trowel and Trellis Garden Club honored 28th President, Claire Grieve, with a Penny Pines Plantation.


Grieve has been a member since 2002. During her years of membership she also served as vice president for two years and as chairman of several committees.


Penny Pines Chairman Ann Blue presented Grieve with the plantation certificate.


This was the 46th donation since the club’s participation in the program, which began Feb. 14, 1990.


At this time donations go to the Mendocino National Forest, Grindstone Ranger District and are used to re-forest the Spanish Fire (5,000 acres burned in 2000).


Individuals are welcome to participate in the Penny Pines Conservation Program by contributing towards the cost of a plantation.


A donation of $68 will purchase an acre of approximately 325 seedling trees.


For more information on how you can give a plantation “in memory” or “in honor” of a friend or loved one, please call Ann Blue at 263-5854.
