Earth Day Public School Tree Planting

For 30 years LABT has been planting trees at public schools and we continue to do so. 

Invited by the principal herself, Ms. Allyson Camell on April 22^nd, 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 4^th/5^th 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.
