Orchard
View Intermediate School planted 24 shade trees throughout
their campus in Martinsburg, WV on May 19th,
2014. Over the course of the day, 600 4th and 5th
grade students rotated out during their recess to help plant
the trees. The students were assisted by CTree Liaison Molly
Barkman, as well as by additional Cacapon Institute Staff,
WV Division of Forestry personnel, and WV Division of
Forestry personnel. The trees are a welcome and beautiful
addition to the school and the students all loved planting
them. They have adopted them as their homeroom trees and
even given them names!
A note from Project Leader, teacher
Robin Kent:
“All went very smoothly, once the
weather cooperated! Communication was always clear and in a
timely manner. Materials were easily assessable and the help
in placing and planting was extremely helpful and
appreciated.”
