On Sunday, August 25, 2002, twelve
new trees were planted along the new greenway near the First Street
trailhead. Local Girl Scout troop 3415 planted the trees through a
cooperative venture with the Red River Watershed Association (RRWA), and
the Springfield City Parks and Recreation Department. |
| After proposing the project to the
Steering Committee of the RRWA, the girls met with the Springfield Parks
and Recreation Department to determine if the trees could be planted along
the greenway. The entire process, from designing and presenting both
proposals to actually planting and watering the trees, helps the girls to
fulfill their community service oriented Bronze Award. In addition to this
community service project, troop 3415 has partnered with the RRWA in a
past stream clean-up. |

The trees,
donated by the Red River Watershed Association, are Tulip Poplars, the
state tree of both Tennessee and Kentucky. The area that makes up the Red
River's watershed lies in both states and encompasses approximately 1,482
square miles stretching east from White House, TN, to several miles west
of Clarksville, TN, and North from Russellville, KY, to Greenbrier, TN at
the Southern border.
