The media were on hand last Friday when 4-H member Laura Webber led a group of fellow 4-H'ers in planting 15 trees at Elkus Ranch near Half Moon Bay to launch her 4-H Million Trees initiative.
The San Mateo County Times posted a story today. It outlined Laura's lofty goal - to inspire 4-H clubs across the nation to join her in planting one million trees to help combat global warming.
"Fifteen down, 999,985 to go," wrote reporter Julia Scott. She also recorded Laura's optimism.
"There's 6.5 million 4-H members total. If we can get everybody involved, it might just be 12 trees in one year and at the end we'd be done," Laura is quoted.
According to Laura's father, Tom Webber, reporters from YourTV20, World Journal and the San Francisco Examiner also attended the tree planting.
