Story:
In an effort to offset the negative environmental impacts of holding the Super Bowl in North Texas the 12 local host communities along with the NFL, Texas Forest Service, Texas Tree Foundation and Moore Tree Care are conducting tree planting in each town.

This location is for the planting done in Ft. Worth in Hulen Meadows Park on the south side of town. Students from Hill School worked as the volunteer base to get the job done with coordination from Ft. Worth's Forestry Division.
This tree trail is a bit different than others in that most of the trees are the ones being planted on this date and some were not even in the ground yet! How interesting though it will be to view this trail 10 or 20 years from now when the trees have grown and the pictures will be of them being planted.
You can take this trip on the trail with you! Go to EveryTrail for information on how to download the free app to your iPhone or Android phone. Once you have downloaded the app, you can download the Tree Trail and walk the trail with your phone as your guide.
