On Saturday Appetéz took part in a tree planting organized by the Greater Modesto Tree Foundation.  The Foundation works to preserve and develop the urban forests of Modesto.  Don't think we live in a very foresty place?  EVERY TREE COUNTS!  And every tree makes our air cleaner, our buildings cooler, and our streets prettier!

Here's a preview of our fun day:

See our trusty vehicle in the background-- not just a catering van!  It's a tree machine!
