The
Shepherdstown Community Club (SSC), in partnership with the
Jefferson County Parks & Recreation, planted a mix of 24
shade, flowering, and evergreen trees at Morgan’s Grove Park
outside of Shepherdstown, WV on April 19th, 2014.
Preparation began with a meeting on
site with CTree Liaison Tanner Haid to flag the tree
locations. The morning of the planting, seven students from
Shepherd University dug all 24 of the holes and helped to
place all of the materials at each hole, including stakes,
bags of mulch, cages, and tubes. These students stayed
around to help plant the trees with six members of the SCC
and 12 members of a local cub scouts troop. The SSC was also
able to secure a donation of a 500 gallon water tank to use
for watering the trees throughout the summer. This is the 2nd
WV Project CommuniTree planting at Morgan’s Grove Park.
A word from the Project Leader, SCC
President Art Wineburg:
“Our WV Project CommuniTree Liaison,
Tanner Haid, had everything organized, and whenever we had a
question Tanner had or found the answer. There was
wonderful support from the WV Project CommuniTree
organization.”
