Do Something Trees 2013

Carmel High School Do Something Club
Picture
The Carmel High School Do Something Club decided to do something environmentally friendly this year by planting four large trees at Hamilton County’s River Road Park.

Picture
The unpredictable spring weather in Indiana provided a surprise rain, but the students persevered and finished their project as planned.

Picture
Students dug the holes by hand with shovels and back filled the holes.

Picture
The CHS Do Something Club is one of the many groups inspired by DoSomething.org the country’s largest not-for-profit organization for young people and social change.
Picture
With the assistance of Hamilton County Parks specialist Dan Popiela, the students chose four hardy native Indiana trees for planting.

Picture
Next they watered the trees generously and placed water-holding mulch around the bases. To learn how to do this properly, click here.

Picture
The four large trees at River Road Park will provide both environmental and aesthetic benefits to the people of Carmel. To see 22 benefits of trees click here.
