Hagerstown Lions Club Participates in the Million Tree Campaign

Partnering with the MD Forest Service, Board of Ed of WC, and the staff & students at E.Russell Hicks Middle School we were able to plant 78 trees on the school grounds in April 2012. Trees and mulch were purchased with funds raised by the Hagerstown Lions Club $2,250, 34 members sponsored 53 trees and raised the additional funds through a few fundraisers. Aaron Cook with the MD Forest Service was able to purchase the trees through their TREEMENDOUS program. WC BOE Facilities Dept used an auger to dig the holes marked by Aaron in a water conservation area. Over 230 students planted these great trees on April 17 & 18th.
