Ten-year-old coordinates tree planting BOULDER, Colo. (AP) Ten-year-old Emma Gordon has teamed up with her dad, attorney Philip Gordon, to coordinate a citywide campaign to plant trees and fight global warming. The two began their planting project in December 1988.

Since then it has blossomed into an effort to expand the number of trees in the community and celebrate Arbor Day, which is Friday. "Boulder has a lot of trees, but some places don't have hardly any," Emma said. "I think these new trees will fight the greenhouse effect." The Gordons sent letters to elementary schools to invite them to get involved. With the help of the Parks and Recreation Department and Miles Hamm, general manager of Frue-hauf's nursery, the Gordons developed a program to make trees available to the schools. Nine elementary schools in Boulder and four outside the city have raised money to buy 63 trees.

Hamm said Fruehauf's was providing the trees to the schools at cost and delivering the trees. The city's Forestry Division is following the deliveries and planting the trees as part of its Arbor Week celebration this week, said Ellie Bussi, city forester. "We wanted to get school children involved and we wanted to get something done," Gordon said. "Because we had this idea as we sat around the dinner table, there will be 60 more trees and hundreds more kids involved." Along with the environmental improvements the project will bring, the Gordons also see their efforts as a political lesson. "Emma is having a chance to see that if you have an idea, you can get something done," Gordon said.

"We have to help our kids develop the skills to get things accomplished."
