Through the PHS-led One Million Trees initiative, UVa AYAC member Sarah Bolivar and A-School Alumna Lisa Bonitatibus volunteered with Friends of the Schuylkill River Park Tree Tenders to plant street trees, such as small cherry and maple cultivars. It was a great opportunity to talk to passersby and residents about the importance of our urban forest. Also, we had a great time digging pits and playing in the dirt. If you'd like to become a tree tender in your own community, you can visit the PHS webpage.
This is just one of the many volunteer opportunities you can join for "Thirteen in 2013."
Digging the pit and making sure the hole is wide enough for the roots to stretch
Another pit!
Admiring our great work :D
