Really this is over 50 trees
Man is that a worm.....
Trees are donated bi Gulf Coast Soil and Water Conservation



“A Cleaner Today for a Greener Tomorrow”

Dear Parents…
We are participating in a Reduce you Carbon Foot Print activity; each child is to plant one oak tree provide by:

Gulf Coast Soil and Water Conservation District
Grant: Apache Corporation

We can plant new forests to absorb carbon dioxide from the air
(Around 13 pounds per year per tree)
RESTORE the EARTH
1. Pick an area to plant your tree (if not on your property you must get permission)
2. Locate your area using Google maps and print the location; be sure you name is on the map; which is to be turned in to Mrs. Reeves ASAP
3. Take a picture of student/family planting the tree
4. Turn in all information to Mrs. Reeves As Soon As Possible

Trees remove (sequester) CO2 from the atmosphere during photosynthesis to form carbohydrates that are used in plant structure/function and return oxygen back to the atmosphere as a byproduct. About half of the greenhouse effect is caused by CO2. Trees therefore act as a carbon sink by removing the carbon and storing it as cellulose in their trunk, branches, leaves and roots while releasing oxygen back into the air.
