Volunteers line downtown Umatilla with trees

A swarm of volunteers in neon vests spread out up and down Sixth Street in Umatilla on Saturday, March 13, to plant 73 new trees downtown. Esmerelda Horn, development and recreation manager for the city of Umatilla, said the trees are a mixture of hornbeam trees and red maples. The city plans to make the tree planting an annual springtime event. “We’ll hit up a different area every year,” she said. The city put out a call for volunteers to show up at 8:30 a.m., anticipating it would take until about 11 a.m. to get all the trees in. Instead, so many volunteers came out to help that it took an hour. Some showed up as individuals or families, while groups also showed up from organizations, including the InterMountain Education Service District’s Migrant Education program, Umatilla School District, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
