FROM ALEX: Hi, my name is Alex Schmitz. I am currently searching for eagle scout projects and was wondering if you could give me some more information about the OPPD tree donation project. I was specifically wondering about how many trees are usually donated and when.
Thank you!

To Alex:
Alex,
We send in an application for Trees this month. We ask for a certain amount of money and they confirm it and then we buy five foot trees (they don’t want us buying little one gallon size trees). It gets approved in June and then we send them the bill according to the amount we were allotted. I am going to ask for $1500.00 and hopefully receive enough for 6 to 10 trees. You then have to show where you will put them (we will give you the basic place) landscape, dig large holes, place and plant properly the trees, stake them and create a plan to be given to us for their maintenance. You can put a plaque by them with the official species, your name and troop. You can also put a bench or make a picnic table to sit under then….some ideas. The whole project has to be done and approved by December lst, 2011.
