Lois Weiss (Lee) Gilmore was passionate about two things: the New River Valley and trees.  After her death in April 2010, her daughters, Joanna Angle and Brenda Spangler, launched “Lee’s Trees” as a living memorial.

For a fourth year the sisters will distribute pink dogwood seedlings free to anyone willing to plant and nurture them. This year one hundred baby trees will be available, with a limit of one per person. The goal is to place ten thousand trees in the New River Valley by 2024, the 100th anniversary of “Lee’s” birth.
