The City of Billings Parks, Recreation and Public Lands has received a donation from the Sons of Norway service organization in the amount of $700.00 for the purpose of planting trees in City parks.  The Sons of Norway would like to work with area elementary schools next to city parks and in conjunction with National Arbor Day to provide the opportunity for children to help plant these trees. 

There will be no financial impact to the City.

Staff recommends that Council accept this generous donation to buy trees for city parks and acknowledge this gift to the community.
