Tree Planting at Newport

tree plant

As part of the 2023 Door County Big Plant, over 40 volunteers planted more than 700 trees at the entrance to Newport State Park on April 26th.

This collaborative project was sponsored by Destination Door County and coordinated by the Climate Coalition of Door County and Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership. Newport Wilderness Society volunteers along with over 20 students from the Gibraltar High School Ecology Club provided most of the muscle. Pizza donated by Wild Tomato fueled everyone beforehand.

Many, many thanks to everyone who supported this important project at the park.
