Milwaukie man saves people, then trees Clackamas Review - Portland,OR,USA
For Dan Platter, “Trees are the greatest form of life. They embody life — they don’t move, they don’t talk, they don’t build skyscrapers. Everybody lives better when there are trees around.”
But the Milwaukie man doesn’t just like to look at trees, he nurtures hundreds of native trees in his backyard for people to plant in the area and recently launched a nonprofit dedicated to the cause.
