Crestwood Arbor Day Tree Planting 2015

Today my class was invited for the 11th year to assist the Crestwood Parks department plant two trees in honor of Arbor Day.  Today's trees were a Red Bud and a Cherry Tree.  The students were able to add soil around the root ball, then mulch and finally water.  The trees are just off from the playground.  Below are some pictures from our visit.  When talking with Brian, from the park's department, we figured out that students from Long Elementary have been planting trees in Crestwood Park in honor Arbor day for around 20 years!  How amazing is that!  Thank you to the park's department for the yearly invitation.  We look forward to many more trees in the years to come.
