Our very own Urban Forestry Manager and Crew Member, Sara Turner and Neil Irvin, respectively, are going to be trekking 585 miles across the Oregon terrain: biking, planting trees, raising money, and spreading awareness.

Here’s what the two had to say about the impending adventure:

“The STIHL Tour des Trees will be my greatest ride yet,” said Turner. “I have always wanted to bike a long distance with other people passionate about riding. Now I get to do it with people also passionate about trees.” :: Casey Trees’ press release, 07/24/12.

“I’m excited to participate in the STIHL Tour des Trees because planting trees, interacting with the public and educating others about their environment are each passions of mine,” said Irvin. :: STIHL’s local Tour des Trees’ press release, 07/20/12.
