Vancouver arborists help save watershed
Celeste and Joseph Thomas, owners of Thomas Family Tree LLC, led a crew of seven to help restore a portion of the Salmon Creek watershed on Thursday.
With help from students from a branch campus of Lewis and Clark College at Columbia River High School, the crew planted Doug Fir, dogwood trees and other native plants donated by Shorty's Garden and Home. Located at 10514 N.W. 14th Ave. in Vancouver, Thomas Family Tree opened last January.
