The Townsend Tree Board is planning a school campus cleanup day on May 17th starting at 8 a.m. This is an annual event sponsored by the Tree Board, Rotary and other groups each year to make the school campus good for graduation. The school is the gathering place for many large events and graduation brings in many people from out of town. Extra help is appreciated. BCHS horticulture class students and 4H Exchange students will also be helping. Groups and individuals can meet on the south side of the high school parking lot at 8 a.m. For more information contact Patrick Plantenberg, Tree Board Chair at 406-431-4615.
