JOINT EFFORT PROVIDES 100 NEW TREES

One hundred new trees have been planted on town and county property because of a cooperative effort among the Christiansburg-Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce, the Town of Christiansburg and Montgomery County.

Funds came from a $2,900 grant from the Green Virginia Foundation, $2,500 from Montgomery County and a $500 in-kind contribution from a local nurseryman.

The Town of Christiansburg supplied the labor, and Cooperative Extension Service representative and urban tree specialist Pete Feret provided technical assistance.
