On Feb 4th and 11th, 2023, multiple scouts and volunteers gathered
to plant trees. On the first day 2 volunteers went down to the
nursery to transport the trees up to the site. Meanwhile, the rest
worked on digging holes into the ground and taking out some
interfering fence posts. When the trees came back up, we unloaded
the truck and started planting while another pair went down to get
the rest of the trees. By the end of the first day, we had planted 7
trees. On the second day, volunteers arrived and planted the
remaining trees into the ground and added mulch around the trees. By
the end of the project we had transported and planted 15 trees into
the ground.

This project was a great effort from all the volunteers. They
used teamwork and critical thinking when facing obstacles, such
as getting the trees out of a pot, and removing poles from the
ground. People who helped on this project include: Tanish
Mudaliar, Ethan Liu, Abhilash Jai G, Vihaan Chawla, Dharshan
Vetrivelan, Satyajith Kesanapally, Aashrith Morumganti and Aarush
Krishnamohan. I would also like to thank Art, Rocki and
my father for helping out with the project and Dr. Blueford for
giving me this opportunity.
