Earth Day Public School Tree Planting

For the past 30 years the LA Beautification Team has been planting trees at local public schools and we continue this legacy to this day.


Invited by the principal herself, Ms. Allyson Camell on April 22nd, 2022, we (LABT) went to Roscoe Elementary School in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles and planted a total of 7 trees with seven different 4th/5th grade classes. Approximately 150 students participated in the tree planting event.


We planted 3 Crape Myrtles and 4 Australians Willows around campus near the playground areas. The Crape Myrtles we planted were deciduous trees meaning that the trees will lose their leaves during the fall. Australian Willows are evergreen trees, and they will keep their leaves all year round.


Each class was presented a poster board with information about the trees planted. At schools the asphalt playgrounds radiate the heat and are higher temperatures are created on the playground.
