On Friday, April 20th, sixth grade students from the Montgomery School helped to plant over 200 trees along the new Pickering Creek Trail in West Pikeland.
The trail is open to walkers, bikers and horseback riders. Educational signs along the new trail provide information about preservation and the Pickering Creek.
Each of the 212 trees that were planted along the trail was supported with a stake and a Tubex Tree Shelter to provide protection from animal and wind damage.
