Renaud de Rosiers is a parent at BCSIS with a kindergarten student. He looked around the Aurora 7 schoolyard and saw few trees, and no mature trees at all. (Some big cottonwoods on the ground were lost a few years ago due to disease, and the bond project renovation of the building and playgrounds last year took out all but the smallest, youngest trees.) Renaud decided that he would work to have some trees on the A7 ground that were at least taller than him! He connected with Greg Jordan of "Tree Taxi of Longment," who has large trees that were available at a reasonable rate. Thanks to the hard work of this BCSIS parent, we have many large new trees to enjoy on the Aurora 7 grounds. Thanks, Renaud!
Here's High Peaks Principal's Assistant Michele, pretending she's a tree. Won't your arms get tired, Michele?
and now, that same spot, with a new tree. Thanks for standing in, Michele.
The newly planted trees include Golden Rain, Kentucky Coffee Tree, Ash, Canada Red Chokecherry, and Bur Oak. These are all well adapted to the Colorado climate and should provide beauty and shade for years to come.
