CEDAR KEY PLANTING DAY
2024 March 29
Today the Senior Class of Cedar Key School has made its mark to help beautify the community with a planting project around the island.
The seed for this project was picked from the island’s cedar trees in the fall of 2022, then sown in seed beds at Tropic Traditions Nursery by senior class member Lucas Zeigler in the spring of 2023. At the beginning of the school year, in the fall of 2023, the baby seedlings were then brought to Cedar Key School where senior class members prepared an area for them and then planted them in one-gallon containers.
Now it is spring of 2024 and over 150 of these 10 to 12-inch tall baby saplings have been dispersed and planted around the community by these seniors. This project is a gift to the community by this senior class that will leave a lasting legacy for them and their community.
We were honored and blessed to be involved with these students for their noble project.
Sincerely
Jim Fleming
