Tree Planting at the High School

Will had planted the seed in his co-teachers head about getting a tree planting project done at some point. They had been talking about a tree planting for quite a while. After they discussed a tree planting project, his counterpart contacted the community forestry office and scheduled a meeting. At the meeting they were offered one hundred hard wood trees ranging in size from half a meter tall to almost two meters. The deputy school director took them in his truck to pick up the trees the following day. Four days later the school director organized 50 students to help plant the trees under the supervision of an agriculture teacher. They had all of the trees planted and watered in less than two hours. The school director was very excited and has requested that they plant one hundred more trees in October, which the community forestry office has agreed to supply. The project was a great success.
