Our grade went tree planting and picked up trash for the Durham community. Hillside Park was originally a high school that became the first in Durham to teach black students. We split into groups of three. In this picture, some of my friends and I were sitting around a hole for the tree. Some steps you can use to plant trees are first dig a hole to accommodate the tree. Next, take the tree out of the bucket it was in and gently shake it, making the roots break. That helps the tree because if we let it grow in circles, it would die. Finally, after you did those two steps, take mulch and make a donut around the tree.
