The West Kessler Neighborhood Association unveiled a community initiative wherein we give away free native trees each spring. This project was created in consultation with and the mentorship of the academics at the University of North Texas (UNT) and the Lewisville Aquatic Ecosystem Research Facility (LAERF). They have been instrumental in teaching us how to harvest and propagate the acorns/seeds of native species found in our area with the simple goal of helping our neighbors to cultivate and maintain our stewardship of the natural habitats that enhance and beautify all our neighborhoods.
We had our inaugural planting on homes located on North Boulevard Terrace. The planting of all donated trees took place on Earth Day, Saturday, April 22.
Our desire is that this will become an annual event with the long-term goal of helping our neighbors to cultivate and maintain our stewardship of the natural habitats that enhance and beautify all our neighborhoods.
