SOME OF THIS YEAR’S giveaway trees were first planted as bare root seedlings by Buena Vista youth last year. This past summer, teens in the BV Cool Trees internship program, run by Boxerwood, helped tend the trees at a grow-out nursery at Enderly Heights Elementary School. Pictured are (from left) Jeni Osorio (Buena Vista City Public Schools representative), LJ Tobias, Ivy Talley, Elly Crowe, Kimberly Moore, Zola Brookman, Nikki Carroll and Kendall Painter.
Buena Vista City residents will be able to take home up to three native trees for residential planting this month, thanks to a grant-funded partnership between Boxerwood Education Association and the city of Buena Vista.
