Councilmembers Tonia Reyes Uranga (who secured funding for the planting) and Gerrie Schipske (whose district the planting was in) both showed up to help Our diehard greens were there, including coordinator Gabrielle Weeks  But we had lots of 
friends helping out
In the end it took a lot of teamwork to make the event a huge success And it seemed like just about everyone had a great time

We also must thank Long Beach DPW for helping us during the day, and maintaining the trees, including watering them right away Here's a large group gathering at the end of the day taking pride in the number of trees we planted  Each tree planted was also named.  We named the very first tree in honor of Peter Camejo, who passed away this year. Here's a map of the planting sites, in case you want to drive by
