The GT (Gifted and Talented) students at Wilson Elementary in Harlingen recently planted a live oak tree from our 100 Trees for 100 Years program. This program is in celebration of the 100th anniversaries of Harlingen and San Benito. Their teacher, Adriana Davalos, wrote that it "encouraged the students to research Harlingen's history and learn more about our community". We expected the students to learn about the benefits of trees and how to care for them - for them to learn more about their town and its history is an added bonus!
These students are responsible for the care of this tree and will be monitoring its progress weekly.
Valley Proud Envirnmental Council has designated February as All Valley Arbor Month.
Plant a Tree; Plant a Memory
