Tree Planting on either side of the Atlantic Ocean (USA and Germany)
|
At Worcester Prep School in Maryland USA, trees are planted in the fall each year on their school campus. Plaques are made and placed by the trees, so as to tell people whose memory they are planted for. Some of their trees have long historical links.
At Grundschule near Koelzig in Germany, tree planting had to wait for nearly a year, due to the severe cold and frost in the winter of 2006. Let's hope it will be warmer this winter and that will help these young saplings survive.

At Worcester Prep we try to plant trees on the campus every year. Sometimes these trees and markers for them are donated to us by the Levin Winder Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
We have trees that are descendants of the trees at Mount Vernon, where George Washington, our first president, lived, and from the biggest oak in American,

It's Hard Work Planting Trees!
|
We think it is important to have trees because if we did not have trees we would not be able to breathe.
We also think that every time we cut down a tree we should plant another one!
Later on, if we carry on like this we will have hardly any oxygen!
We wonder how tall this tree will be when we are 20 or even 30?

Trees make Good Buffers, we Need Trees!

Did you know that when it rains, trees act as buffers to keep pollution out of the bay? (Walker)
You should plant trees to be buffers. (Peyton)
Buffers are filters. Trees make good buffers. Below trees are roots and bushes. Trees stop pollution from going into the water.
If pollution goes into the water, the water is not safe for animals or humans.
Plant more trees! Here is a way you can plant more buffers and stop pollution.
If you live near water and no trees are there, go to your nearest hardware store and buy some seeds. Plant them and let the trees grow. (Christopher) More
