Mr. Miller aka Mr. Tree is excited to announce that the North High Botany program and Ineract Club have once again partnered wit the local organization ROOTS (Restoration of Our Trees - Sheboygan) and Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership (LNRP) to host another tree planting on two more campuses here in SASD. We will be planting at South High School and Jackson Elementary School on Saturday, October 18th.
Important Update 10/16/25
Due to an unforeseen conflict with Diggers Hotline checking the campuses for potential power lines and utility hazards before digging, I regret to inform you that we will be unable to host our planned tree planting at South High School & Jackson Elementary School this Saturday, October 18th.
As a team, the organization ROOTS (Restoration of Our Trees-Sheboygan) and LNRP (Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership) have decided to cancel the October 18th planting and move it two weeks later to Saturday, November 1st, keeping the same timeline (a 9 am start time at South High & 11 am start time at Jackson with the event wrapping up by 2 pm).
Where - South High School & Jackson Elementary School
When - Saturday, October 18th November 1
What - We will be planting 80-90 trees total, with species ranging from river birch to dawn redwood
Why - Trees are critical members of the biosphere and our local ecosystems that help purify air and sequester (or hold in) carbon dioxide, keeping it out of our atmosphere. Did you know that 1 mature tree=10,000 sheets of paper and a mature tree absorbs approximately 10-40 kilograms (kg) of CO2 per year?
How - After a brief demonstration by Mr Miller aka Mr. Tree, teams of volunteers will work together to position, properly plant, stale, tie and mulch trees. All of the holes will be pre-dug to faciliate ease of planting.
Who - Interact Club, Sheboygan Rotary Club, Students, Staff, Community Members and possibly you. All are welcome at this event.
