Spent a super sunny day out at Kay Carl Elementary School to plant a Southern Live Oak Tree (which the students enthusiastically named Oakie) in the parking lot in front of the school as part of a collaborative effort to teach our children more about trees.
Tommy Mac of PBS's "Rough Cut" in conjunction with the Hardwood Forest Foundation and Truth About Trees are traveling the nation educating our youth on the facts about growing and responsibly harvesting hardwood trees for a multitude of uses. They led the students in activities to recognize things that are made from trees that we use everyday and a simulation of what happens to old trees in a densely populated forest. They concluded the day's presentation with a sing along song to help them remember what they'd learned.
