REAL ESTATE : Building Industry Assn. Joins Groups in Planting Trees
Behind every good building are a few good trees that gave their lives for it.
Earlier this month, the Orange County Building Industry Assn. tipped its hat to the sacrificial limbs by helping to plant more than 80 trees throughout Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley.
It was a grass-roots--rather, tree-roots--effort by a number of local organizations. Nearly 150 Boy Scouts and their parents pitched in, as well as the Tree Society--an environmental group dedicated to preserving Orange County’s natural woodlands. Even a Pizza Hut in Huntington Beach found a way to assist by delivering free lunch to the tree-planters.
The event marked the fifth and final tree planting sponsored by BIA/OC and the Tree Society in 1991. Over the past year, the groups planted nearly 500 trees in Orange County parks.
