Nathan Sneed, Austin Hill, Jovany Martinez and Colton Goetjen from Upper Lake High School dig in on Saturday during a reforestation project at Middletown’s Trailside Park. The event, sponsored by the Lake Area Rotary Clubs, drew 400 volunteers from across Northern California. They planted 3,000 seedling trees in a park, which was devastated during the Valley Fire. - Photos by Joe Dacanay — Lightworks Photography
