TREE PLANTING ALSO CELEBRATES CONSERVATION
March 3, 2008
Harry Lydiard’s passion for planting trees and enjoying their growth has inspired memorial tree plantings as a tribute to the veterinarian and civic leader who died in December. During a visit with North Olympic Land Trust volunteers who help protect the sustainable commercial timberland, Lydiard enjoyed showing some of his trees’ healthy growth.
Some of Harry Lydiard’s friends and other admirers are making good on a promise they made to the tree farmer and civic leader a few days before his death last December.
They are organizing memorial tree plantings on the Lydiard Dry Creek Tree Farm.
