Why plant trees in communities? The Arbor Day Foundation plants trees to help communities heal after natural disasters such as: hurricanes, fires and floods. We can strategically plant trees in communities to address crime reduction, urban heat island effect, green infrastructure, community pride, and beautification as well.

In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, many Texas communities lost critical tree canopy. As a continued sign of hope and recovery, help us plant trees in our local community.

Children age 5 and above are welcome to participate as well as any other friends and family. We ask that you wear closed toe shoes and clothing that you don't mind getting a bit dirty. Tools, supplies, planting instructions, and trees are provided at each planting event, creating a seamless volunteer opportunity where all you need to do is arrive ready to dig in!

The goal of this activity is to beautiful and cleanup the courtyard for the spring. The students like to use it to have their lunch and often the teachers utilize it by taking their students out for class or have them do their reading time out there. It is a highly coveted extension of the learning space at Kempsville high school and we would like to make it nice for the kids to use.
