As part of the Forest of Bliss campaign, five trees will be planted  in Graves Park, 820 Cutler Ave NW & 9th St, Albuquerque, NM 87102 (map) to honor those who have died of COVID-19. A bronze plaque will be placed at the site, and an interfaith prayer service with social distancing will precede the the planting.  The public is invited to attend, but masks are required and social distancing will be observed.

The trees will offer shade for many in the area who are shelterless. Interfaith groups involved in the project are providing funds for trees, but we can use more support. Each tree is $250, which allows the city to nurture and water the trees.
