Monroe: trees at county racetrack

Sixty Leyland cypress trees were planted at the Evergreen Speedway this past week at turn three of the track.

The trees at the racetrack, which is part of the Evergreen State Fairgrounds, provide a noise buffer for a neighboring equestrian park. The 14-foot-tall cypresses were planted 10 feet apart. They’re expected to fill in within two years.

NASCAR’s Green Clean Air program supplied the trees. The racing body plants 10 new trees for each green flag during designated race events to help offset carbon emissions from competing cars. As a result, more than 2,500 trees have been planted near racetracks across the country.
