More than 150 walkers and 30 volunteers came out for the Saturday morning, Oct. 12, 3K Walk for Rescued Horses & Trees. Started off by HB Police Department Police Officer Tyler Boswell and his mount, Drifter, walkers traversed a course strolling down newly forested trails, and into the neighboring rescued-horse pasture. Back at the Start/Finish, walkers collected their Walk medallion, enjoyed the country western songs performed by the New Frontier Cowboys band, received complimentary refreshments, had fun with balloon art and games, and purchased Walk T-shirts and merchandise or made donations.
A big thank you to all who stepped up to donate to the Walk for Rescued Horses and Trees co-presenters – local non-profits HB Tree Society and Free Rein Foundation.

Promises made, promises kept:
New trees for Huntington Central Park!
Fifty years ago on June 15, 1974, Huntington Central Park officially opened as Orange County’s largest municipal park. The HB Tree Society’s “50 Trees for 50 Years” campaign celebrates the 50th anniversary and is replenishing some of the more than 500 trees lost from the original landscaping plan.
To date, 60 new trees have been planted. Funds for these trees have come through a generous grant from the park’s neighbor, Chevron, as well as nature-loving community members.
Please click here to donate.
