THE GREEN TEAM
Teens Help Shade the City
In 2022, we developed a program to recruit 10-12 teenagers who were rising 9th, 10th and 11th graders to participate in a two-week training program about the value of trees, the impacts of climate change, tree maintenance and tree planting. In the fall, these teens also helped us canvas and plant trees in 10th and Page and Rose Hill.
Having proven successful, we repeated this program in summer 2023 and will do it again in 2024.
