These awesome Orchard Hill Elementary “Tree Girls” were recognized by the Iowa Urban Tree Council for Outstanding Youth Project in Iowa! Last year they saw a need. Then they took action. They proposed that the playground needed shade, and then set out to purchase trees. Last spring they were awarded a $2500 grant from the Department of Natural Resources and planted 11 trees, with every grade level having a tree. They will go to Ankeny in April to receive their official award and be recognized. They left a legacy for years and years to come!
