The Highland County Press-
Deborah Harsha presented Girl Scout Troop 321 with a Visa gift card in front of the Harsha Monument Company office on West Walnut Street, Monday evening.
Members of the troop, all of whom are local sixth graders, and troop leaders Christina Ross and Katharine Koogler accepted the donation from Harsha.
CPA David Collins donated the gift card to the City of Hillsboro to be given to a randomly selected participant in the city’s parks survey. When Harsha was selected as the winner, Ross told The Highland County Press that Harsha asked to donate it to an organization working to improve the parks.
The city suggested the troop, who Ross said is planning to plant several trees at Liberty Park this spring.
“Every year, the Girl Scouts do a journey project,” Ross said. “The project is relating to air quality, so planting trees is the best thing we can do to improve air quality.”
Ross said that the troop hopes to plant the trees in April and that they will also be using money collected from cookie and magazine sales to purchase trees large enough to sustain themselves.
