Youngstown CityScape donated nearly 40 miniature trees from planters in downtown Youngstown to the Mahoning County Land Bank for the second year in a row. The trees were planted for the Christmas season and will now be recycled through vacant land beautification.
The Land Bank will replant these trees at vacant lots in Youngstown.
The Land Bank would like to thank landscaping company, Municipal Action Corporation, Ltd., and the Community Corrections Association, Inc. for providing labor to remove the trees and transportation to replant them.

Mahoning County Land Bank will reuse the trees, which Youngstown Cityscape purchased to decorate during the Christmas season.

Teamwork by Community Corrections Association representatives made the job a bit easier.
