Groundwork Elizabeth team came out to the township of Hillside for an apple tree planting! Here’s a fun fact: Did you know that it takes about 36 apples to make one gallon of apple cider? Just a fun idea for those who love apples! Thank you, Mayor Andrea Hyatt and her wonderful team, for coming to the apple tree planting!

We are excited to see how their garden is coming out along with the new apple tree!
Keeps Growing, One Tree At A Time

Students from DLC had a wonderful hands-on learning experience this week! They welcomed a new apple tree to the campus, learning exactly how to plant it and what it takes to help it grow and thrive. It was a fantastic lesson in nature and responsibility that our students will get to watch grow for years to come.

This wonderful space will continue to make tree planting improve the air quality and strengthen our environment for years to come! We extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who participated and helped make this tree planting a success! We wish you the best for the new cherry tree!
