soil.<\/p><p><em><strong>4.<\/strong><\/em> Surround the tree with mulch to prevent weeds and over-mowing<\/p><p><em><strong>5.<\/strong><\/em> Name the tree!<\/p><p>After the students completed these

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After the demonstration, students got to work digging, planting, mulching, and, of course, dancing! Through their hard work, the 4th graders at Adams planted a total of 40 trees around Folsom Park and 10 trees on their school campus, getting down in the dirt to take part in every step of the process. The students enthusiastically shoveled dirt, spread mulch, and named their trees a variety of trendy, goofy, and tree-related names.\u00a0<\/p><p>The names of the newly planted trees range from &#8220;Meatball&#8221; to &#8220;Jimmy Jr.&#8221; to &#8220;Leaficus&#8221; and &#8220;Woody&#8221;. These newly planted and named trees, thanks to the efforts of the students, will grow for years to come, providing shade and cleaner air for many generations of students and community members.<\/p><p>The Arbor Day Foundation provided gloves for each student, as well as the 10 trees planted on school grounds. Each of these new plantings will contribute to the growing number of trees in the LPS tree canopy. The tree canopy provides students with places to sit, beautiful scenery, and a healthier environment.<\/p><p>The newly planted trees, and many more, are mapped and recorded on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcgis.com\/apps\/dashboards\/cc2facd0d7294067b8a5e3988ebf8869\">Tree Dashboard<\/a>! The dashboard can be used to find the locations, species, and information about trees all across LPS.<\/p><p>LPS couldn&#8217;t be more grateful for all of the hard work of the Adams Elementary students and staff, and the amazing volunteers and community partners who made this planting possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
