This grove of fir trees (Pseudotsuga Taxafolia) was planted on a very cold, rainy day, February 29, 1968, by a group of hardy souls listed below, most of whom knew nothing about tree planting and none had sense enough to get out of the rain. These trees grew despite the fact that they were planted without a landscape architect's plan, without an environmental impact statement and without approval of DEQ, the Oregon Environmental Council, LCDC, the Sierra Club, the Neighborhood Planning Committee, the Design Review Board, and CRAG. - Amo & Jessie DeBernardis, Edith Johnson, Coral & Renda Kay, Leonard Garmire, James & Virginia Rogers, Rebecca Zertanna, Bob & Betty Zertanna, George & Elaine Ryan, Noble & Gladys Cumming, George & Jeanne Pasero, Bob Palmer, Loyal Buroker, Lloyd Soule, Al Widestrom, Eugene Barrett, Norm Bjorkland, Herb McMurtry, Kathy Gourley, Lee Harter, Don Uppendahl, Jerry Sand, Leroy Goodwin, Jack Knutson, Russell Abraham, Hub Walter, Joe Atkins, Henry Lind, Roy Tidwell, Roy Lindsay, Donna Zuckerman, Joe Merril, Jack Weinbender, Clifford Stephens, Ole Johnson, Alice Crystal Rose
