On October 24, 2006, employees from Direct Communications donated their day to help secure trees for Rockland. Rockland was gifted 30 trees by a farmer near Big Sky, but we first had to dig them up, wrap the roots in burlap and wire, and transport them 30 miles back to the little town of Rockland. The trees were then planted around the Rockland School and the town cemetery. Special thanks to Denise Ralphs from the Rockland city office for organizing this grant for our town, and everyone else who donated their labor, equipment and resources that day to beautifying Rockland.
