Virginia Peterson

During the fall of 2004, Lionel organized a tree planting event with students and teachers from the Virginia Peterson Elementary School. Valley oaks, coast live oaks, cork oaks, sycamores, and redwoods were planted along a chain-link fence next to the school’s sports fields. Additionally, with the help of neighbors, an empty lot between the school and adjacent residences was restored with oaks and redwoods. Individual community members have turned out since to water, mulch and tend the plantings, and even plant more shrubs on their own.
