Ursuline College loyal participant
Ursuline College is participating in the Community Trees Initiative again this year. Mrs. Lucarelli and Mrs. Coristine's classes were involved in both the introductory lesson and seeding event March 7th and 9th. The 27 volunteers learned about careers in the environmental field and developed the skills needed to restore our environment back to a healthy state. The students were eager to plant the seeds and will be able to observe the growing process in the school greenhouse over the next few weeks. They planted 7 trays with Honey Locust, Eastern Redbud, Common Hackberry, and Grey-headed Coneflower. They will be participating in a seed collection event for American Sycamore in the week following March break.
