Heritage Elementary School
Orchestrated by a team of dedicated PTO volunteers, the tree planting party held last spring at Heritage Elementary involved students, faculty, and numerous parents. With eight trees total, each grade level was appointed its own tree, which was adorned with a marker identifying the tree species, grade level planting, and date the tree was planted. Every student who was present on planting day had the opportunity to contribute to backfilling the planting hole on their grade’s tree, with parents facilitating the flow and planting instruction, supported by Urban Forestry staff. The 15 gallon trees planted as part of this grant project frame the two playgrounds on the south side of the school, in order to provide future shade for students.
