Members of the Brussels Lions Club spent their Wednesday evening packing 600 tree seedlings for a special Earth Day project. For the second year in a row, the organization will be giving out the trees to every Southern Door Elementary School student on Friday. Brussels Lions Club Secretary Penny Wautier says the Lions will also be planting four trees they will donate at the school on Friday while demonstrating the proper way of tree planting to 4th-grade classes.
“Invest In Our Planet” is the official motto for Earth Day 2022. The annual event was first held on April 22, 1970, and now has coordinated events in 193 countries involving 1 billion people, according to earthday.org.
