Tree Planting at Boushall Middle School

Written By Sarah Wilkinson

In November 2025, Southside ReLeaf gathered with partners and volunteers to plant 34 trees at Boushall Middle School. The trees will bring much-needed shade to the school grounds, which were dominated by open grass and parking lots before the planting.
