To date, $1,250 has been raised to plant trees along the main west entrance to Lake Panorama. In recent years, more than a dozen trees along Panorama Road north of the guard shack were removed because of storm damage and disease. Another $2,500 is needed to cover the cost of planting 11 trees in this area.
LPA has partnered with Isom Tree Farm on a plan to plant four sugar maple trees using a tree spade, plus seven nursery trees, along Panorama Road. The nursery trees will include red maples, London planetrees and Autumn Blaze Maples.
Friends of Lake Panorama is managing fundraising for this project. Donors of $500 or more can make their donation in honor or memory of someone, and will be recognized on the Friends website. Larger and smaller donations also are welcome. All donors will be listed in the LPA Prompt and Lake Panorama Times.
Donations to Friends are tax-deductible; donors receive a letter of thanks to use during tax preparation. Donations can be made by check payable to Friends of Lake Panorama, and mailed to Friends, PO Box 488, Panora, Iowa, 50216. Donations also can be made through Venmo @Panorama-Friends, or by credit card at friendsoflakepanorama.org.
