When Clover Health Care residents Jack Jackson and Marcel Lemelin heard about Pine Tree Society's plan to build Maine's only fully accessible treehouse they knew it was something they wanted to support. The two have attended Pine Tree Camp for 36 and 22 years, respectively, so the project seemed like a great opportunity to give back.Erin Rice accepts a check from Jack Jackson and Marcel Lemelin in support of Pine Tree Camp's treehouse project.

To call attention to the fundraising project, Activities Director Sandy Robbins, constructed a replica treehouse that was displayed in Clover's lobby. Over the past few weeks, visitors and staff alike have donated money in support of the project.

On June 8, the two presented a check for $280.00 to Erin Rice, Marketing and Communications Director of Pine Tree Society.
