Thuja plicata

This grove of western red cedars was planted in 1934, the first of hundreds of tree plantings organized by Lockyear in a life dedicated to reforestation.

Lockyear lead Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and other youth organizations in making many major tree plantings throughout the Pacific Northwest. In 1973 he founded the non-profit ReTree International to plant trees worldwide and to involve and educate youth about the importance of trees to our planet. ReTree International has spread Lockyear’s passion for reforestation to over 50 countries around the world.

In 1991, Lockyear received a Point of Light award from President George Bush. ReTree International survives its founder (1913-2001) and continues to sponsor and organize tree planting projects.
