Rotary joins tree planting project

ONTONAGON — The Ontonagon-White Pine Rotary has joined other Rotary Clubs throughout the world in a project to plant trees in their communities.

The project, to plant the same number of trees as there are members in each club, was a request to the thousands of clubs in the world by the Rotary International president.
