The Keep Bartlesville Beautiful (KBB) committee marked the completion of a tree planting project last month at the intersection of Highway 75 and Frank Phillips Boulevard.

The partnership with Up with Trees, supported by a $15,000 grant from Phillips 66, included the planting of 23 mature trees earlier this fall and signage for the project was also recently installed. The previous trees in the location were destroyed or damaged following the May 2024 tornado.
