Trees for Tots: Greeley Forestry Visits D6 Kindergarteners

Greeley's youngest residents became official "tree caretakers" this week when the City of Greeley Forestry team brought their "Giving Tree" program to D6 kindergarten classes.

The visits were perfectly timed with classroom tree studies, as students learned proper tree care techniques from forestry experts. Each child received their own Spruce tree to plant at home. The trees came individually sealed for easy transport home. City staff from the Culture Parks and Recreation Departments read The Giving Tree to students as they followed along with commands such as a tree stretch, waving hands for wind and thumbs up or down for what trees need to survive and thrive.

Did you receive a "Giving Tree" during your elementary school days? If your tree is still thriving, we'd love to feature you! If you have a "grown up" tree now, please reach out to ce@greeleygov.com.
