I planted 5 trees and mulched them at my school. This will help impact having shade at my school for people to wait under when getting picked up or dropped off and eventually shade buildings too.
The benefits of trees to a landscape are it reestablishes habitats for animals, it also roots soil into the ground. Trees also take in extra carbon dioxide out of the air to prevent climate change. There are some studies that trees also help people feel good. Trees also help with water conservation because the shade from the trees will help grass not having to be watered. Also I am very excited to see birds coming to our school to perch in my trees.
The outcome for the trees was pretty much what I suspected, except one of my trees has been struggling. I was worried that it was not going to come back to life until this spring when I saw leaves starting to regrow. The man that donated this tree (owner of a nursery) told me that often this species of tree dies when it is moved and then will re-sprout from the roots and continue growing. That is exactly what it did.
The rest of my trees are doing great.
