Kaposia Students Plant Trees with Tree Trust

Students at Kaposia Education Center recently rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty in a schoolwide tree planting event, in partnership with the nonprofit organization Tree Trust.

As part of the event, every class at Kaposia participated in planting a tree on the school grounds. The experience not only provided students with a hands-on opportunity to learn about the environment and the importance of trees, but also encouraged a sense of ownership and community pride. Each class chose a name for their tree, which will be displayed on a custom name tag.

Tree Trust’s Learning with Trees™ program is a free program for Minnesota elementary and middle schools, funded by foundation grants and corporate sponsorships. Kaposia's Learning with Trees program was sponsored by the Beim Foundation.
