Thirty Trees Planted for Municipal Complex Project

(Longview, TX) A ceremony will be held at 10 a.m., Monday, February 11, 2013, to recognize the donation of thirty trees to be planted on the grounds of the Longview Public Library, Police Department, and City Hall. The project is made possible through a donation by Keep Longview Beautiful. In addition, the Texas Forest Service assisted with the planning of the project, including the implementation of a diverse tree selection of 24 different species.

“The City of Longview has recently lost a great number of trees due to the drought. The planting here at the municipal complex is a very visible part of the start to the replanting effort to recover some of the tree loss from the drought,” says Community Services Director Laura Hill.

The ceremony will be held on the outdoor plaza of the Longview Public Library, 222 W. Cotton Street. In case of rain, the event will be moved inside the library.
