Gallery-Durbin Estate Tree Planting Day

On November 30, 2012, 50 white pine trees were planted along the walking trail leading from Glen Lily Road to W. 12th Street. The green tree fence will provide a visual screening between property lines. Also, 40 bald cypress were planted in the drainage basin. They will help absorb standing water.
