Last week we had over 20, 4th and 5th graders from Red Sandstone Elementary School come to the golf course to plant trees. Thanks to Bill Carlson with the Town of Vail for partnering with the golf course to plant 36 new trees around the golf course. Each student was able to plant their very own 12 inch Blue Spruce tree at various locations around the golf course. They learned how to prep the soil and plant the tree correctly for optimum growth and survival. There was a lot of teamwork going on and they all left the course with dirty hands.
Vail GCM staff members Stephanie Bibbens, Justin Miller, Dustin Wester and Chris Devine were on hand to help the students with the planting process.
In the spring we will install a drip line irrigation line to each tree so that they can continue to thrive on the property.
Vail Golf Club has planted 78 new trees in 2009 including Aspen, White Fir and Colorado Blue Spruce.
Congratulations for a successful tree planting event. Salute to you guys teaching the kids on to take care of the environment and giving them the chance to experience planting a tree. Kudos to you guys and more power!
