TUCSON, Ariz. — The neighborhood surrounding the Hollinger K-8 School on Tucson's southside is looking greener after students and volunteers planted several native trees.
“I was a teacher at Hollinger for 15 years," Bland said."And I ran a program called ‘Outdoor Learning.’ And we had a big garden, along with a bunch of other activities outside for the kids to participate in. And so when I retired, I came back to the school as a volunteer,” “Every year since 2016, we’ve planted 400-500 trees, desert trees. But I’m not involved in planting them. I just give them out to the community, but this year, we decided ‘let’s plant some trees in the neighborhood,'” he said.
“Every little bit helps and it’s a step toward undoing anything people might have done where they may have been misinformed and cut down trees. To each it’s own, but we’re just out here doing this, whatever difference we can, however small it might be,” said Luis Torres-Rodriguez, a parent volunteer.
