Andover Elementary School students May 29 got a hands on lesson about the importance of trees and what they need to grow.
Future generations will be able to enjoy the fruits of their predecessors’ labor thanks to a $10,000 donation from Connexus Energy. Along with a 16-tree donation from the city of Andover, the school was able to plant one tree for every one of its 51 classrooms, according to Diana Preisen, a community forest specialist with Tree Trust.
