Last fall, we planted 30 new trees at Boushall Middle School with the help of our volunteers. Now that it's spring, we are asking for community support to tend to these young trees. We will weed, reset cages, and learn to use arbor ties to help these trees grow straight and tall! No prior experience is required.
