Clarke Township Students Plant Centennial Trees
Grade 7 and 8 pupils from Clarke Township schools began the Centennial Plantation, with about 180 students forming work groups to plant Red Pine saplings despite rain and wind. The project, organized by Centennial Chairman Mrs. T. Fairbrother, follows approval by the Clarke Township School Board in 1966. Local supporters include Dorothy Robinson Lands and Forests and Karine Parr Traill, while Burley Bus Lines provided transport and a sign marks the site west of the old railway near Orono. Further plantings are planned on school properties in coming weeks. Youth in Action showcases community projects during Centennial year.
