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.

• Dozens of park-poor neighborhoods now have access to green space-parks, pocket parks, and school campuses are places where the community can come together and enjoy nature.

• Dozens of colorful, vibrant murals adorn buildings and schools, inspiring creativity and community pride.

• Hundreds of disadvantaged youths have gained marketable workplace skills, experience, and a path to a job in a booming industry at a living wage.

• Thousands of children have learned about environmental education and the importance of resource conservation, setting them on a path to being thoughtful stewards of this community we call home.

• And tens of thousands of residents, like you, have come together, united in a shared love of our communities.
